The greatest man of great men and the greatest saint of saints

July 8 is the day marking the 10th anniversary of the demise of great President Kim Il Sung

The demise of the President whom the progressive humankind had worshipped as the sun and legendary great man was the greatest grief ever known in the 5,000-year-long national history.

The sudden death of the President who had shouldered the destiny of the nation was an irreparable greatest loss at the historic time when the socialist cause of Juche was winning victory after victory breaking through manifold difficulties and ordeals in north Korea and a new phase was opening on the road ahead of the national reunification.

From the early age of teens when he embarked on the road of revolution to his 80s great President Kim Il Sung had devoted his all for national liberation and prosperity, happiness of the people, national reunification and global independence and, thus, performing undying feats for the Korean nation and other humankind.

The whole life of the President, who had fathered the immortal Juche idea and brilliantly embodied it to enforce the politics for the people, is that of the great leader of people unprecedented in the times and history. He was an unusual great master of idea and theory who had illumined the way ahead of the times and humankind, a great master of outstanding leadership who had led the people to the struggle for national liberation, class emancipation and human liberation and an incarnation of love who had embraced all the people in his broad bosom. After meeting with the President former US President Jimmy Carter said that President Kim Il Sung is an outstanding man just likethe one that combines George Washington, the first US President who had the highest reputation in the US, Tomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.

Indeed, President Kim Il Sung is the greatest of great men and greatest saint of saints endowed with the excellent wisdom and intelligence, leadership ability and virtue of all great men and saints on the highest level.

Though his heart stopped beating, the President is immortal in the hearts of the Korean nation and humankind.

His revolutionary history is firmly succeeded by leader Kim Jong Il, a faithful successor, and his revolutionary cause will surely be accomplished by leader Kim Jong Il, the great sun of the 21st century who is revered as people¡¯s leader, legendary great man and iron-willed brilliant commander.
