It was when Kim Chaek who was boundlessly loyal to Premier Kim Il Sung passed away.
The Premier always lived in sorrow while giving up eating and drinking from the day when Kim Chaek died.
Before carrying the coffin of Kim Chaek out of the house, he groped the cold hands of the late comrade whom he had trusted and valued so much with his warm hands.
While sorrowfully looking at the pocket watch Kim Chaek had used regularly, he said he would keep the watch.
His voice trembled for tremendous sorrow.
Everyone wept as they saw the Premier who got gaunt beyond recognition as he spent three days and nights in unbearable pain and sorrow.
He shed tears without saying a word until a volley for the dead was fired and the funeral service was over.
He bade his last farewell to his closest revolutionary comrade-in-arms.
Though he passed away, President Kim Il Sung kept the photo he had taken together with him in his safe without forgetting Kim Chaek for his whole life.
