There is the Samjiyon Schoolchildren's Palace in Samjiyon, a cultured mountainous city of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The palace is a comprehensive base for extracurricular activities of schoolchildren with several circle rooms including mathematics, automobile and fine arts circle rooms, a gymnasium and a theatre.
The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the Samjiyon Schoolchildren's Palace in November 2016.
It was very cold with a lot of snow that day.
Originally, the city of Samjiyon in the northern part of the country has a cold weather for nearly half a year.
But Marshal Kim Jong Un called at the palace in spite of the biting cold.
Looking round different places of the palace, he dropped in at the fine arts circle room. He looked at the pictures drawn by schoolchildren and praised them for their good jobs.
He told the circle members that if they learn fine arts, they can become industrial artists and designers in the future and wished them a happy future before having a photo taken with them.
Then he went to the gymnasium.
In the gymnasium, he said that if the indoor temperature is low, children may catch a cold and earnestly called for keeping its temperature at over 15 degrees centigrade.
He noted that children might get hurt while doing exercise in such a place and that he would send rubber pads to lay on the floor of the gymnasium.
The issues of ensuring the indoor temperature of the gymnasium and laying rubber pads on its floor were the ones he could not overlook as he values and loves the children most.
Endless is the love of Marshal Kim Jong Un who wants to provide the younger generations with the best things without any slightest defect.
