A World of Love Received by a Woman Official

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Comrade Kim Il Sung was the greatest of the great, who has no equal in terms of personality both as a revolutionary and as a man."

Stories abound on the warm love and kindness of the boundlessly benevolent Comrade Kim Il Sung. This is one of them that tells us about President Kim Il Sung who brought up an ordinary woman named Pak Chun Ok as a competent vice-minister of the government by taking good care of her career development.

One day in September, 1968, she was working at a catering outlet when she received an unexpected message from an official saying that President Kim Il Sung was calling her.

When she arrived at his office with the great emotion, the President welcomed her and was pleased as if he met his daughter who had been away for a long time.

He asked her about her career path warmly with paternal affection and praised her as she had come home from abroad with ardent patriotism to defend her country during the Fatherland Liberation War. And he deeply recollected her family members who had devoted their lives to the revolution from early on and told her that he had found her second brother who had got lost alone, saying that she should remember her family and her relatives who had fought at the cost of their lives to win back the country and that she should always work well for the people and the Party.

President Kim Il Sung continued to say that she was very brave because she had come to the homeland alone and served in the army, joined the Party and graduated from a university without telling anyone that her parents and relatives were the revolutionaries. He added that he would give her a new job, a vice-minister of commerce.

She was very surprised to hear that. She hesitated for a while and said that she would not dare to take such a weighty job, and the President told her that he already had decided to appoint her, and that there was nothing to worry about. He added that the Party decided to give her the work on the basis of its understanding of her past work history, and that he would hand her the key to the nation's warehouse, and that she should work well bearing in her mind the trust of the Party.

He gave precious instructions to be regarded as guidelines in her work and life saying that from that day on she was a proud vice-minister of the country responsible for the people's welfare.

She was deeply moved by the benevolent father who had entrusted her with an important job of a vice-minister at such a young age, and she made up her mind to work harder, bearing in mind the instructions of the fatherly leader.

During her tenure as vice-minister when she worked hard to be worthy of the love and trust of the President, she was often received by the President.

Whenever he met her, President Kim Il Sung said that she should be deeply conscious of the trust of the Party, taught her how to do her work as a vice-minister and encouraged her to work in an enterprising way even though she had difficulties in her high job.

The story about a woman official who became a proud vice-minister of the country still today depicts a world of the benevolent father's affection who infinitely valued and loved the revolutionary soldiers. And this is the happiness and glory of all the Korean women who are proudly pushing one of the wheels of the revolution under the wise leadership of the successive great leaders.
