One day in September Juche 53 (1964), Chairman Kim Jong Il visited Rungna Islet together with an official.
Feasting his eyes on the surrounding landscape, he said that Rungna Islet is a picturesque one and Pyongyang has been called "Ryugyong" because of many willows, adding that the islet has been called Rungna as willow catkins along the Taedong River looked as if a roll of silk was unfolded on the water.
He said that he would turn the whole islet into a wonderful pleasure ground for the citizens in the capital city.
Then he told that one cannot work devotedly for the country if one doesn't know how beautiful and dear the country is as a man ignorant of the beauty of flower cannot cultivate a flower garden. And he stressed that officials should always live and work with ardent patriotism like the heroes who had devoted their lives to the country.
He called for making an embankment around the Rungna Islet, planting various flowering plants and fruit trees, building new parks, playgrounds and public service facilities in an impeccable manner to turn the islet into an excellent ground for citizens' leisure activities.
As seen above, Kim Jong Il worked out a far-reaching plan to turn the Rungna Islet into a wonderful pleasure ground for citizens of the capital city several decades ago and worked heart and soul. -0-
