After the death of ***, Kim Il Sung cried so much that his eyes were red, which was touching. The neighboring North Korean president, who was preparing to undergo eye surgery, was so emotionally devastated when he heard that *** had passed away due to an illness, so much so that doctors had to recommend postponing the operation.
**The deep friendship with Kim Il Sung is really rare. Kim Il Sung was born in Pyongyang, North Korea, in 1912, and at the age of 14, *** had already made significant contributions.
The 14-year-old *** wrote a long essay to teach the principal how to manage the school, how the teacher teaches the students well, and how the students should learn consciously. He proved himself with his strength, not only at a young age, but also with the ability to be amazingly talented.
When he was five years old, he had already memorized the "three, hundred, thousand, thousand" backwards and could recite the "University", "The Mean" and "The Analects" fluently. By the time his peers were writing on the teacher's clothes, he was already aware of the future development situation in China.
He was admitted to Nankai School in 1913 and achieved excellent results, second in Chinese language, first in mathematics, and first in the overall score of the school. However, this year, Kim Il Sung was still learning to walk.
Who would have thought that these two children would become great politicians in the future and have an intersection? However, ** still continued to pursue his great ideal of "studying for the rise of China", and Nankai's graduation certificate did not satisfy him.
**When he was young, he went to Japan to study, but he was not admitted because he failed to pass the Japanese language, so he returned to Japan to participate in the establishment of the university department. He was the first liberal arts student in the university department of Nankai School, and was recommended and funded by Yan Xiu to study in the UK.
During his studies in Europe, he read extensively and knew more than anyone else. Later, he responded to the call of Sun Yat-sen's First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang held in Guangzhou and returned to China to join the revolution.
In 1924, he began his revolutionary career as chairman of the Guangdong District Committee of the Communist Party of China and head of the Propaganda Department. Unlike ***, Kim Il Sung's childhood was very difficult.
His country was occupied by Japan before he was born, and his childhood was filled with displacement. Despite this, when he graduated from Nankai School in 1917, he was only 5 years old, but he still bravely followed his father around.
At that time, Japan imposed a harsh governance on Japan-occupied Korea, and many Korean people rose up to resist, but they were eventually wiped out by Japan. In the process, some North Koreans fled to northeastern China, including the young Kim Il Sung.
Kim Il Sung's life trajectory is inextricably linked to the Northeast, and he vowed to regain his homeland under the influence of his parents. In 1925, after returning to China, he came to the Northeast, where his life and ideas had a great influence on him.
There, he went to school to learn Chinese, joined the Chinese Communist Party, participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and held leadership positions in the Second Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. His outstanding abilities have been widely recognized and hailed:"Good comrade"。
At the age of 36, he established the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which he held as chairman. It can be said that the Northeast not only made Kim Il Sung, but also tempered his leadership skills.
**, the prime minister who is over half a hundred years old;Kim Il Sung, a young and promising leader. The relationship between the two did not intersect after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
However, the Korean War in 1950 broke this situation. Kim Il Sung frequently came to China, had long talks with ***, and personally sent people to convey messages. Kim Il Sung was deeply impressed by ***, believing that he had a unique leadership charisma, looked suave and elegant, but had his own unique opinions.
In the midst of the war, their friendship was forged and tested. In 1953, Kim Il Sung became the first foreign head of state to visit China, took the train, and held many talks with *** to talk about life, ideals, and the future situation.
Their friendship transcends countries and wars, and has become a rare story in the world.
In 1958, the prime minister visited North Korea, and the important task of this trip was to discuss matters related to the return of volunteers. Upon arrival in North Korea, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the North Korean leaders headed by Kim Il Sung.
The scale of this welcome event was large, and the spectacle was rare. On the way from the airport to the city, the people of Pyongyang spontaneously held flowers on both sides of the road to pay tribute, and the procession stretched for ten kilometers.
After the decision was made to withdraw the volunteers from the DPRK, Prime Minister Kim Il Sung braved the wind and snow and accompanied him to visit the Korean Fatherland Liberation War Memorial Hall, Pyongyang Textile Factory, Hamhung City, Hennam Chemical Fertilizer Factory and KPA positions.
When the Chinese Premier visited the DPRK, it was during the Spring Festival, and the North Korean people had the custom of celebrating the New Year. At the kind invitation of President Kim Il Sung, the Prime Minister spent an unforgettable Spring Festival in the DPRK.
At the banquet, the Prime Minister poured wine for President Kim Il Sung, and President Kim Il Sung served dishes for the Prime Minister, and the Korean specialties "Beat Cake", "Eight Treasure Rice" and "Pheasant Rice Cake Soup" were presented one by one, making it an unforgettable holiday delicacy.
In order to commemorate the deep friendship between the two countries, the leaders of the two countries have met many times and become the focus of international attention. In 1969, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kim Il Sung sent Choe Yong-kin to visit Beijing.
The following year, ** paid a return visit to North Korea, the main purpose of which was to repair relations between the two countries. When Kim Il Sung greeted *** at the airport, the first thing he said was: "The prime minister is tired and thin." ”
The visit dispelled many misunderstandings and brought relations between the two countries back to normal. In order to show respect for ***, Kim Il Sung specially arranged the highest level of "all-dog banquet".
This banquet is the highest level of the Korean state banquet and entertains guests with its unique national characteristics. In 1971, Kim Il Sung secretly went to Beijing to meet him at the airport and check him in, but Kim Il Sung still chose Building 18 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where he had previously stayed.
During a secret visit to Beijing, Kim Il Sung was deeply touched by the fact that he not only had a long meeting with Kim Il Sung, but also invited Kim Il Sung to hold a banquet at the Great Hall of the People.
In the same year, after Kissinger's secret visit to China and the revelation of Nixon's imminent visit to China, he immediately went to Pyongyang to personally inform Kim Il Sung of the news. After Nixon's visit to China, he flew to Pyongyang to inform him of the situation.
This is not only an important step in Sino-US relations, but also a manifestation of the deep friendship between the two leaders. Even when he was ill in 1972, he continued to work, and immediately after being hospitalized, Kim Il Sung sent an envoy to visit him.
In April 1975, Kim Il Sung visited China again, and despite his physical discomfort, he insisted on meeting Kim Il Sung and asked him to take over the relevant affairs.
After Kim Il Sung and *** met for the last time, he heard that ***'s condition had deteriorated and decided to go to visit, but was politely refused by the Chinese side. On January 8, 1976, ** died of illness, and Kim Il Sung burst into tears when he heard the news, and the operation had to be postponed because of the red crying in his eyes.
But he still sent an extra-large wreath to express his deep condolences to ***. In 1979, Kim Il Sung made a historic decision to erect a statue in North Korea, located at the Hungnam fertilizer factory that he visited during his visit to North Korea.
In less than half a year, the ** statue was completed, and Kim Il Sung also specially invited Deng Yingchao to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the bronze statue. The establishment of a statue of a foreigner in North Korea is an unprecedented thing, and this bronze statue is not only a symbol of friendship between China and North Korea, but also a testimony to the deep friendship between the two.
