Chairman Kim Jong Il was the benevolent father who put our children forward as the kings of the country and bestowed all sorts of favor on our children so that they could grow up with nothing to envy in the world.
It was one March day in 1979 when the production of gifts for the children and students across the country was going full steam to mark April 15, the birthday of President Kim Il Sung.
Seeing their samples with satisfaction, the Chairman instructed that the President bestowed great care on the students and other children of the country and they were indeed the happiest in the world.
And then he told officials that they should make scrupulous arrangements for the supply of the clothes and shoes.
The officials suggested that they be sold at retail prices.
In November the previous year the state had sold winter clothes to all the children of the country at very low prices, and it earmarked a huge sum for the ongoing production of gifts.
Taking the state’s financial burden into account, the officials made the above proposal.
Listening to their reply, the Chairman said that in his opinion the clothes and shoes should not be sold to kindergarteners and students at retail prices, adding that then the parents with more than four children may not afford to buy the goods at once.
He advised that the officials should reconsider their plan.
Thus all the students and children of the country received clothes, shoes and school things free of charge on the occasion of the April holiday that year.
Indeed, it was looks of socialist country full of happiness brought by ardent love of the Chairman for the posterity.
