Discussing how to do farming sitting on a straw mat

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Cherishing as his faith the revolutionary principle that the masses are the masters of the revolution and construction and they have the strength with which to propel the revolution and construction, he always went among the masses and enlisted their inexhaustible strength and creative wisdom in solving all problems in conformity with their demands and interests."

President always found himself among people, familiarizing himself with their demands and aspirations not only by their voice but also by their breathing, eye expressions, facial expressions, speech tones, and gesture. He grasped the pulses of the times and the urgent requirements of the revolution from them and advanced new ideas and policies based on them. He continued his people-bound train journey all his life, saying that he feels pleasant at the mere sight of people and gets any bottleneck removed while talking with them.

The basic line of post-war socialist economic construction, the policy of agricultural cooperativization and the Juche farming method were all born along with his people-bound train journey.

President's visit to Chongsan-ri still remains a fairly impressive story.

It was October 10, Juche 47 (1958).

Officials wanted to usher President into a room.

But President refused it, saying it was better to sit on the straw mat intimately than going into the room, and personally sat on the straw mat in the yard of the threshing ground and discussed how to develop the cooperative.

Nowhere in the world can we hear such a heart-touching story of the head of the state sitting on a straw mat with ordinary peasants around to discuss the farming.

So one president from a foreign country who was briefed on the story while visiting Chongsan-ri, looked, with a great emotion, at the large oil painting depicting President of that day, said that he had visited a number of countries, but he had never seen or heard of such a leader so intimate with people like President Kim Il Sung.

He even said that he wanted to try sitting on the very spot the President Kim Il Sung had sat, and did so on the bare yard, telling his attendants to do like him, some of whom sat near him.

A moment later, he rose looking deeply moved by the fact that he became to know better about the personality of President, the unconventional fatherly leader.

As seen above, President listened to the voices of peasants in numerous face-to-face talks with them sitting on a simple straw mat of the threshing ground, on a homely mat of a peasant's cottage, and on a sheaf of straw at the edge of a field, before initiating the Juche farming method and working out a grand blueprint to turn the countryside into a socialist paradise.

Along with the straw mat, President established strong family ties with the people, who got firmly determined to follow him forever.

Those sites at which President had a talk with the people have laid cornerstones of the ever-victorious history of the Workers' Party of Korea. Indeed, they were the valuable sources that made the Workers' Party of Korea a great Party deeply rooted among the popular masses and the Korean revolution always emerge victorius.

Therefore the Korean people express their ardent yearning for President by "We'll never forget you, your warm-hearted talk on farming!'
