One day in September 2013, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited a stone dressing plant.
Seeing with pleasure the newly-processed granite newels piled up before him and stroking one of them on top of the heap, the General Secretary said that they were processed in a precise way.
An official of the factory told him that the newel was coated with stone dust as it was just processed.
The General Secretary said that it didn't matter if there are some dust and that he couldn't just have a look at the excellent products made with stones abundant in our country.
And he continued to stroke the dusty newel, valuing products made by our workers with the resources of our country.
That day he said that he was convinced to see the processed stone products mass-produced in the plant and hardened his determination to usher in a great heyday of construction.
Looking up to the General Secretary, the officials vowed to build splendid creations for the people on this land by our own resources and efforts and thus uphold the Party's grand plan for construction in practice. -0-
