Rectifying Shortcomings

One January day in 2012 Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un found time to visit the Mirae Shop.

He looked round it here and there and gave precious instructions on its good service. He dropped in at a show case of glasses which comprised various kinds of colored or powered ones.

He picked up a pair of colored spectacles. His eyes clouded over.

The officials did not see any reason for it despite their closely watching the glasses in the show case.

He said to the officials that the show case was made to inconvenience of customers when they took out glasses and that it must be a rotary one which would enable them to choose their favorites with ease.

He went the length of wearing the pair of colored spectacles. He asked a saleswoman where he could look at himself in a mirror.

She was at a loss for an answer. She fetched him a mirror from a luxury counter. He told the officials that he did not want to use it but that a spectacles counter must have a mirror for customers to be able to look at their faces in it after they put on any of glasses.

They had so far flattered themselves that the store had nothing to be desired.

But Kim Jong Un gave the first consideration to the convenience of the people and pointed out the shortcomings of service activities in a moment.

The officials realized more keenly than ever from what standpoint and with what attitude they should serve the people.

Tasting Noodles

Kim Jong Un visited the newly built Pyongyang Corn Processing Factory one day in August 2015.

He inspected the integrated production process relief chart of the factory and acquainted himself with its production capacity. He asked its official how its corn noodles tasted.

That moment he recalled what had happened one year ago. Informed that the citizens of Pyongyang were served with delicious and peculiar corn noodles in a restaurant, Kim Jong Un tasted them in person, spoke highly of them and taught in detail how to cook them more daintily than usual.

The official told him that the current products of his factory tasted exactly as good as the noodles sampled by him that time.

Kim Jong Un said that the noodles tasted all right. The material for them and their garnishing, too, were the same as those for the ordinary citizens of Pyongyang.

This is another story of his warm love for the people.
