Today, too, our people recollect the sacred revolutionary career of Chairman Kim Jong Il who devoted his all to people, yearning for his benevolent image.
One March day in 2006 Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the Samsu Power Station under construction.
Standing on the dam, he gave precious instructions on the issues arising in the construction of the power station one by one. After a good while he, all of a sudden, asked an official the issue of residents’ evacuation.
A shadow passed over the face of the Chairman when he was informed of the fact that they were sharing abode with others nearby.
He reproved the official, saying that the residents in the area should not be dealt with in that way and new houses should have been built for them.
Noting that evacuation of the affected people was an important matter, he pointed out that he visited the site to inquire into this matter because there was no document on the relocation of dwelling houses, among the many which were filed to him concerning the construction of the Samsu Power Station.
After a pause, he stressed that coaxing the residents would not be enough and this matter should be solved in a practical way.
Then he recounted: The people in Ryanggang Province were the poorest during the rule of Japanese imperialism. But their revolutionary sense was strong. Many of them crossed the Amnok River to take part in the anti-Japanese struggle. To solve the problem of their living is of primary importance. You should discuss the matter concerning the relocation of dwelling houses in the area to be submerged, at an enlarged meeting of the executive committee of the provincial Party committee. As this is an important matter, you should hold a joint meeting with the Party Central Committee. Before evacuating the residents, new houses should be built for them, which are far better than the old ones. …
He reiterated earnestly that they should push ahead with the construction of the power station in parallel with the housing project for the affected residents.
Under such warm love of the Chairman our people always trusted in and followed the Chairman and have grown up as fervent fighters on the road.
