ON PUBLISHING THE CONDENSED BIOGRAPHY
OF KIM IL SUNG
The revolutionary career of Kim Il Sung, the founder of the
Workers’ Party of Korea, the eternal President of the Democratic
People’ Republic of Korea and the father of socialist Korea, was a noble
life of a gifted ideologist and theoretician, an outstanding politician, an
unexcelled military strategist, an exemplar of leadership and a
benevolent father of the people, a life that flowed together with the
current of the 20th century.
Having embarked on the road of the revolution in his teens,
Kim Il Sung led the unprecedentedly difficult and complicated Korean
revolution to a brilliant victory until he was in his eighties, achieving the
liberation of the country, building a most beneficial, people-centred
socialism in Korea and rendering distinguished service to the
development of the world revolution.
For the immortal exploits he performed for the times and history in
his effort to consummate the revolutionary cause of Juche and the cause
of global independence, he will always live in the hearts of mankind as
the sun of Juche.
In order to further exalt and hand down to posterity the brilliant
revolutionary life and immortal revolutionary exploits of Kim Il Sung, a
peerless great man and genius of the revolution and construction, the
Party History Institute of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party
of Korea publishes this book by supplementing the previous edition.
