It happened in September 2013when the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un looked round a stone processingfactory.

As he satisfactorily looked atthe granite newels that had just been processed and piled up, he unexpectedlystroked a newel on top of the pile and appreciated that they were processed precisely.

But the accompanying officialsfelt nervous, because his hand was stained with the white stone dust.

Much embarrassed, an officialof the factory told him that as they had just beenprocessed, the products were covered with stone dust.

However, he said that the stonedust did not matter and that the mere sight of such wonderful products madewith locally abundant stone material was not sufficient, and tenderly strokedthe processed goods.

The officials stood there witha lump in their throat.

The products made by theKorean workers with the local resources were so dear to him he stroked the dustyprocessed stone again and again.

That day, he said that as hesaw the processed stone products being mass-produced at the factory, he became confidentand more determined to usher in a great golden age of construction.

Looking up to the GeneralSecretary, the officials hardened their resolve to support the Workers’ Partyof Korea’s grand construction plan with practical achievements by continuouslybuilding splendid assets of the people on this land with domestic resources andefforts.
