In September Juche 62 (1973), the Political Committee of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea adopted a special decision on ensuring that President Kim Il Sung had a month-long holiday as he had no days off from the outset of the year.
Acceding to the decision, the President left for a holiday resort.
But his holiday plan came to naught from the first day, as he set out to inspect a farm.
That night an aide earnestly asked him to have a rest, reminding him of the decision.
He turned around and said to him as if he made a request: I refused to have a holiday as I have a lot of work to do, but the Party has made a decision. As they insisted on, I have come here, but I find it hard to have a rest for lots of work. Please you understand me.
Such conversation continued almost every day.
One day he visited some farms and enterprises and met with the leading officials of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK to discuss the affairs related to the province.
He was too busy to find time for having lunch, and he headed for his lodgings late in the evening.
The aides were so vexed that they implored him to take a rest even for a while.
To their surprise, he told them he would quit holiday and go back to Pyongyang.
When They asked him to change his mind, he said as follows: Taking a rest is nothing special. Mixing myself with workers and peasants, talking with them and solving their difficulties so as to please them are precisely my rest. Revolutionaries should find their happiness in making the revolution to the last moment of their lives.
As a result, his one-month holiday came to be shortened to eight days.
