Chairman Kim Jong Il devoted his all to the pleasure and happiness of people throughout his revolutionary career. Among the touching stories about his love for people is one born at a fish farm.
One April day in 2001 Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a fish farm producing rainbow trout.
Looking round the fish farm, the Chairman asked the officials there how they dealt with the products.
They could not answer him willingly, because feed for the rainbow trout was too costly and they kept the fish farm going with foreign exchange earned by selling the rainbow trout to hotels.
An official told the Chairman frankly about this situation.
Listening to his saying, the Chairman expressed his regret.
"From next year we will increase the output and supply the fish to the people," pledged an official, feeling remorseful.
The Chairman emphasized that they should do so without fail and never sell the fish to the hotels. Then he said that if they were determined to increase the output to 100t, he would ensure enough supply of feed. He reaffirmed that they should not sell their products but supply all of them to the people.
At that moment another official said that they had provided the people with some of the fish on the occasion of the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung, adding that there were many who expressed thanks for Kim Jong Il’s care.
Pleased at the report that they supplied rainbow trout to the people, the Chairman praised the officials highly and said that it was the happiest news he had ever heard.
Indeed, the Chairman always kept the people in his mind.
