The ardent yearning for Chairman Kim Jong Il is getting greater in the hearts of our people with the passage of time.
Chairman Kim Jong Il, who was born as the son of the people and embodied the idea of the great leader for believing in the people as in Heaven, devoted all his life to the people, doing everything he could do for them.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said.
"Saying that the people are heaven and a teacher, General Kim Jong Il did everything he could do for the people."
People, that was all of his life.
For the people, Kim Jong Il devoted himself in the last year of his revolutionary life.
On April 7, Juche 100 (2011), Kim Jong Il visited the Kanggye Koryo Medicine Factory for the third time, regardless of being uncomfortable.
That day, Kim Jong Il entered the supercritical fluid extraction room following the liquid-medicine packing room of the factory and the herbal tissue culture room.
Chairman, guided by an official of the factory, looked carefully at the various medicines displayed in the supercritical fluid extraction room, had a benevolent smile and put a vial in his hand.
It was evening primrose seed oil that the officials and employees of the factory made using the supercritical fluid extraction equipment.
The efficacy of it has been studied by many research institutes worldwide.
Noting that he acknowledged the medicament, Kim Jong Il, before the factory official could explain it, gave it easy to understand the efficacy of the evening primrose seed oil medicament, which are specific to the prevention of brain thrombus, arterial hardening, hypertension and anti-aging, and the issues to be observed in their production.
The accompanying officials were surprised.
Kim Jong Il had such a profound knowledge of the evening primrose seed oil medicament, one of many Koryo remedies.
He gave precious instructions to the officials of the factory on making it better.
The officials looked in tears up to Kim Jong Il who devoted his efforts, thinking about a Koryo medicine that would contribute to the promotion of the people's health, careless about his discomfort.
At that time, an official of the factory gave a sincere wish that Kim Jong Il would use the medicament when it was completed.
Saying that he was pleased with the official, Kim Jong Il said he believed that the officials, workers and technicians of the Kanggye Koryo Medicine Factory, in the future, too, would produce more popular and famous medicines conducive to the promotion of the people's health, and left the factory.
By the last moments of his great revolutionary life, Kim Jong Il had continued the road of love for the people, paying great efforts for them, leaving nothing for himself.
