Suggesting meaningful slogan
One April day 11 years ago, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited the Songdowon International Children’s Camp nearing completion. Having an overall view of the camp for a while, he expressed satisfaction as he was so happy for being able to provide schoolchildren with the splendid camp.
Then the fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un stopped in front of the gatepost before going through the main gate.
At that time, the gatepost was decorated with three circular ornamental bands bearing the letters “ample knowledge, high morality and strong body”.
“Ample knowledge, high morality and strong body” is a symbol of the traits and qualifications that schoolchildren should possess to become the reliable pillars of the socialist country.
But the Marshal raised his hand to count the letters of “We are the happiest in the world!” and suggested fixing more ornamental bands to inscribe the slogan on them.
He said that it is a slogan for not only children but adults, all the Korean people.
As a result, the slogan of love and title of a song which all the Korean people as well as children had chanted and sung in the era of President Kim Il Sung was inscribed on the gatepost of the camp.
A day spent with schoolchildren
After his visit to the Songdowon International Children’s Camp nearing completion, the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un came again to the camp which underwent renovation.
That day the schoolchildren held a ceremony of unveiling the statues of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il and an inauguration ceremony of the camp in the presence of the respected fatherly Marshal and had a final match of the national children's football tournament in the afternoon.
It was when the football match ended.
The schoolchildren fretted about the passage of time as they wanted to be with him longer.
As if he entered into their minds, he watched the congratulatory performance “We Are the Happiest in the World!” given by the then Moranbong Band, together with schoolchildren.
In the evening, fireworks were displayed, lighting up the night sky over the camp bewitchingly.
Each day is very precious for the General Secretary as he deals with every state affair, big or small, but he devoted his precious time to schoolchildren from morning to evening that day.
