Devotion Associated with Tideland

One day in June 1960 the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung (April 15, 1912-July 8, 1994) visited a tideland of Onchon County in the west coastal region of Korea. When his car reached the entrance to the tideland, it could not go further as the road ahead was so rugged and muddy that it was difficult even to walk on.

He got off the car and led the way along the road up to the dyke of the tideland. As it was at ebb tide, a vast stretch of the dark bed of the tideland came into sight.

After looking at the tideland for a while, he suggested to the accompanying officials that they would walk further on.

The officials requested him to go no further, saying that there was no more way ahead, but he said: I’m all right. Let us go further ahead. We should not hesitate as it is for the good of the people. If there is no path, we will open the way into this tideland. Then he began to stride into the tideland.

Whenever he moved his steps, his shoes sank into the mud, with the lower part of his trousers splashed with mud.

But he, looking over the wide tideland, said with a broad smile on his face: Good. How vast the land is! If it is reclaimed, it would be really good. Its prospects are quite rosy.

He then suggested detailed ways to reclaim the tideland into arable land while standing in mud in the glaring sunlight for a long time.
