Kim Jong Un and His Creative Mode

A great transformation is taking place in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, to the wonder and admiration of the international community.

Then what are the attributes that define the political mode its supreme leader Kim Jong Un pursues in leading his people to build a thriving socialist country?

First, he demands that everything they create go beyond the global standards.

To cite an example, he takes an innovative and enterprising approach to architecture. The newly built edifices that retain their characteristic features have reached the highest standards in all aspects, ranging from design and building work to content and style—the Masikryong Ski Resort, Munsu Water Park, apartment blocks for the educationists at Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology, Wisong Scientists Dwelling District, Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp, Songdowon International Children’s Camp, and Pyongyang Baby Home and Orphanage. Excellent in utility and artistic beauty and giving precedence to convenience and aesthetic tastes, these structures epitomize Kim Jong Un’s criteria for civilization and creation.

There is a lot more to say about the innovative thinking of the Korean leader who strives to explore new ideas with a global vision, regardless of the set formulae and stereotyped patterns.

Looking round the gorgeous Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp, he said that those in the fields of scientific research and design should keep abreast of breakthroughs in contemporary architecture, adding that they should make strenuous efforts to develop recyclable and natural energy resources.

Second, the youngest leader in the world sees to it that every project is completed at a single stretch in the shortest possible period.

Construction of the Masikryong Ski Resort is a good example. He made a resolve to finish the project in one year though the US and its vassal forces were clamouring that the DPRK could not make it even after a decade. All the service personnel and people turned out in hearty response to his call for creating the “Masikryong speed.” On the strength of working together they went against all odds to conquer the primeval forests. On a vast area of land sprang up modern buildings in a matter of one year, and the builders vowed that they could take responsibility for their safety and guarantee their absolute quality for all eternity.

There are other examples; the Songdowon International Children’s Camp was renovated in a little more than five months, the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp built in four months, and the Wisong Scientists Dwelling District laid out in seven months. The rapidly changing appearance of the country strikes the world with admiration.

True to their leader’s appeal to beat the world at the speed of Korea, the people are making a quantum leap and effecting innovations in their respective fields.

Third, the Korean leader’s way of thinking is big and audacious. Build structures as monumental edifices—this is a principle he maintains in construction.

He gave instructions on 113 formation plans for the construction of the Munsu Water Park on the bank of the Taedong River, and he had a huge sum invested for the construction projects such as the Songdowon International Children’s Camp, Pyongyang Baby Home and Orphanage, and apartment blocks for scientists and educationists.

Make everything impeccable for the benefit of the people and no expense should be spared if it is for children, scientists and educationists—this is his “calculating method.”

It is not that his attention is restricted to certain sectors and units; he shows close concern for all the sectors and people of the country.

After the projects for the Songdowon International Children’s Camp and Pyongyang Baby Home and Orphanage were over, he took specific measures to refurbish other children’s camps and orphan’s primary and secondary schools in different parts of the country. Also concerned about the elderly with no one to support, he had a fishery station set up exclusively to provide them with fish on a daily basis, just as he did for parentless children across the country.

Following the construction of the apartment blocks for the educationists at Kim Il Sung University, he had similar ones for those at Kim Chaek University of Technology built in the shape of sailboats on the bank of the Taedong River. Now the construction of the Mirae Scientists Street is going full steam ahead in the nearby area.

The projects for the Munsu Water Park, Mirim Riding Club and Masikryong Ski Resort, all undertaken consecutively, were completed under his bold plan.  

In February he had a bird’s-eye view of the construction site of the Mirae Scientists Street on board his official plane in order to map out a plan to build Pyongyang into a world-class city.

In other parts of the country the people’s dreams and ideals are coming true according to his innovative plan—the Sepho area being transformed into a big livestock farming base, the multi-tier hydropower stations on the Chongchon River nearing completion and the Kosan Fruit Farm showing off a sea of apple trees.

Having already attained a powerful-nation status politico-ideologically, militarily and in outer space exploration, the Korean people now make redoubled efforts to develop theirs into an economic giant and a sports power. Under Kim Jong Un’s sagacious leadership the DPRK will become a thriving socialist country in the near future.
