Seeing One Piece of Hawthorn-fruit Biscuit

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Bearing full responsibility for the political integrity and material and cultural life of the people and taking care of them has been a matter of paramount importance for our Party and a mission it cannot neglect even for a moment."

It was when Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a foreign country in Juche 72(1983).

The general secretary of the party of that country hosted a grand banquet to welcome the Chairman. Among the desserts on the banquet were exotic sweets and biscuits.

The main raw-materials were wild fruits, the tastes of which were very delicious. Especially the biscuit made of a fruit of hawthorn was exceptionally delicious.

After returning home and recalling upon that day, he said that the hawthorn-fruit biscuit was most delicious and that if we had a sample, we could make it, too. He regretted not having brought the hawthorn-fruit biscuit as a sample and said that he felt sorry to the people for having returned empty-handed.

At that moment, the officials who had accompanied him were deeply impressed with his words.

They looked up to the noble image of Chairman Kim Jong Il who was so concerned with such a small cake as if he had not given enough love to the people.

One day, the Chairman instructed to the officials that everything in the world should be needed for people and for the good of people, and said that whenever he looked at the table, saw a fine clothes or built a house, he first thought of people's dinner, clothes and dwelling houses.

To ease the anxiety of Chairman Kim Jong Il who, whenever he saw a fine or new thing, wanted to give it to the people just like a parent taking care of his children, the officials told him that people were enthusiastically welcoming him, greatly rejoicing at the fact that he had performed immortal exploits for the country and the revolution through his foreign visit.

He said in a serious tone that he did not like to hear such praise, and the reason why he was telling them that story was that he wanted to look after people without having to regret again.

Continuing that they often visited foreign countries and were frequently invited to parties hosted by them, but when he received their reports on their return, they often said that they had enjoyed warm hospitality, but few officials said what might come in good use of the people, which was an expression of lack of patriotism as well as not thinking of people. He pointed out that wherever they were and whatever they saw, they should think of people first than themselves.

Bearing in mind the teachings of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the officials came to realize once again the truth of life that they could lead a worthwhile life without regret only when they always worked hard for the good of people wherever they were and whatever they did.
