The Korean people greeted the new year Juche 101(2012) in bitter tears after the sudden demise of the great leader Kim Jong Il on December 17, Juche 100(2011).
The respected Kim Jong Un roused the entire people to change their deep sorrow into great strength and courage and carry out the instructions of Kim Jong Il.
As a result, the construction of the Huichon Power Station visited by Kim Jong Il eight times in his lifetime was completed as planned, and the Mansugyo Fish and Meat Shop, Changjon Street, the Rungna People's Pleasure Ground and the Breast Tumour Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital were inaugurated one after another in the capital Pyongyang.
The construction of the Mansugyo Fish and Meat Shop started on the instructions given by Kim Jong Il during his inspection of the newly built Pothongmun Street Fish and Meat Shop on September 8, Juche 100(2011) on building similar shops in different places of the capital to contribute to the working people's diet.
Kim Jong Un selected a site for the shop and though he was extremely sad over the demise of Kim Jong Il, paid deep attention to its construction and visited the construction site in January and March.
Looking round the shop on April 25, the day of its inauguration, he earnestly said how pleased Kim Jong Il would have been if he had seen the shop.
With such mind, he continued his field guidance tour to carry out the instructions of Kim Jong Il.
He called at the Rungna People's Pleasure Ground in July just before its inauguration and said that Kim Jong Il would have been very pleased to see it. Looking round the newly built Breast Tumour Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital in November, he stressed the need to manage and operate the institute properly as it is associated with the warm love of Kim Jong Il.
It was a behest of Kim Jong Il to launch a scientific and technological satellite in Juche 101(2012).
Kim Jong Un issued the final autographic order concerning the launch of the man-made earth satellite "Kwangmyongsong-3-2" on December 12 and watched the whole process of its launching in detail at the Satellite Control Centre.
Afterwards, he visited the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground far from the capital and said that the scientists and technicians successfully implemented the behest of Kim Jong Il. He told them to come to Pyongyang and, together with him, visit Kim Jong Il lying in state at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun to inform him of the successful launch of the man-made earth satellite.
10 years have passed since 2012. And Kim Jong Un pictured Kim Jong Il to himself all the time.
Under his leadership, the lifetime intention and desire of Kim Jong Il come true in this country.
