One day in September Juche 98 (2009) Kim Jong Il said that he would pay another visit to the construction site of the Huichon Power Station.
Ever since calling on all the people to launch a 150-day campaign aimed at providing a springboard for building a thriving country, he had been giving on-site guidance at numerous units without taking a rest. An official tried to dissuade him from doing so out of concern for his health.
Kim Jong Il replied in the following vein: Whenever I set out for on-site guidance, I feel easy at the thought that I would see my soldiers at the People’s Army units and my people in factories or rural villages. I’m going to the construction site of the Huichon Power Station with the thought that I would be seeing my soldiers and my people there. I feel it a great happiness to give on-site guidance for my soldiers and my people, however long and rugged the road may be.
Another official asked him not to overwork himself.
Kim Jong Il said: Having journeyed by train and lived on it so far, I’ve got used to it. Probably for this reason, I feel as if I am at home when I am on the train and as if I am staying at a hotel when I am at home.
