 2022.11.4.

The revolutionary life of Chairman Kim Jong Il is shining more brilliantly with the history of the noble love for people devoting all his life to the happiness of the people and performing undying exploit for them.

In the whole period of his revolutionary life, he regarded the idea "The people are my God" as his motto and boundlessly loved them, believing in them as in Heaven, and did everything for them always prioritizing their demands and interests.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"If it is the wish of the people, I will pluck a star from the heavens or grow flowers even on a rock-this was the noble expression of General Kim Jong Il's affection for the people, and his will."

The thing that he will grow flowers even on a rock for improving the people's living standard, it was the noble outlook on the people cherished by Chairman Kim Jong Il who had regarded the people as his heaven.

Chairman Kim Jong Il was born as the son of the people and grew up among them. He cherished the noblest outlook on the people and thoroughly embodied it in the whole course while leading the revolution.

The Chairman was born as the son of the people and grew up among them. He cherished the noblest outlook on the people and thoroughly embodied it in the whole course while leading the revolution.

There are many great men and celebrities in the world, but there is no such a leader as Chairman Kim Jong Il.

The Chairman was possessed of the highest level of the ideological and mental qualities as a leader, as a revolutionary and a human being. He was always on the road of love for the people till the last moments of his life, and devoted his all to the improvement of the standard of the people's living and passed away on the field train.

He took every possible measure in order to improve the living standards of our people whatever the condition.

Among the revolutionary anecdotes about Chairman Kim Jong Il, there is one about the faculty of light industry has been founded at Chongjin University of Mining and Metallurgy.

The mission of the university is to train technical personnel in the mining and metallurgical industry, therefore it seemed unusual that there is such a faculty in that university.

This is the very point of the noble outlook on the people of Kim Jong Il who paid deep attention to improving the people's living standard.

On February 5, Juche 96 (2007), he visited Chongjin University of Mining and Metallurgy. Looking round the educational science exhibition, he heard that the university took charge of putting the production processes of the Chongjin Essential Foodstuff Factory on a computerized basis and highly praised them for doing really good things for the people.

Then he asked how they could undertake the work of controlling the production process of basic foodstuffs with computers, and he said that it should be done by the University of Light Industry originally.

An official told him the names of colleges in the province and asked him about his intention of setting up a faculty of light industry at Chongjin University of Mining and Metallurgy as they were short of technicians in the light industry sector.

After a while, Chairman Kim Jong Il said that it was a university for training technicians in the mining and metallurgical industries, not for training technicians in the light industry sector, but as it was difficult to organize a college of light industry, gave valuable institutions to institute a new model faculty that trained technicians in the light industry.

As a result, the faculty of light industry was founded at the university which trains technicians in the mining and metallurgical industries. Later, in Chongjin a new university which trains experts in the light industry has founded with this faculty as the parent body.

The Faculty of Light Industry has been existed at Chongjin University of Mining and Metallurgy!

This was the result of the measure that could be taken only by Chairman Kim Jong Il who regarded it as the supreme principle of the activities of the WPK to improve the people's living standard and had the noble ideal of making our people the happiest and most civilized people in the world.
