One day in January Juche 43 (1954) when the whole country was seething with postwar reconstruction, President Kim Il Sung visited a place to choose the site of the Kusong Machine Tool Factory on his field guidance to various sectors of the then Kusong County.
After exchanging greetings with an official of the county who came to greet him, the President asked where he was planning to choose the site for the factory.
The official unfolded a map showing the topography of the county and explained to the President about the area of the factory to be built and its soil and geographical conditions.
Listening to his explanation carefully, the President looked at a few houses and pointed to a place on the map, saying that it would be a good idea to build a factory ahead of the village.
The President said that the people suffered from war damage and, therefore, when the factory was built, the land and houses of the people should be touched as little as possible. If the land and houses of farmers were unavoidably touched as the site of a factory, it is necessary to discuss with them, he added.
The President's instructions contained his deep meaning that the interests of the people should never be infringed upon and that their interests should be always prioritized though any work is done. -0-
