One day in October Juche 39 (1950), the period of the Fatherland Liberation War, President Kim Il Sung passed through the Taedong-ri valley in the then Tongchang-myon of Changsong County in North Phyongan Province and saw a spring water site.

He told officials to stop the car to drink the spring water.

They presented the spring water to the President, pleased to appease their thirst.

After drinking the spring water, the President said that it is very refreshing and that the water is a mineral water with a lot of carbonic acid and iron ingredients, adding that such mineral water is efficacious for gastritis hypoacida.

Watching officials saying that the cider-like mineral water tastes good, the President stressed the need to build sanatorium and rest home here after the war and make the working people enjoy a good time.

Looking up to him who is assured of the victory in the fierce war and gives instructions on the construction of sanatoria and rest home for the working people, the officials keenly felt that the President is an iron-willed brilliant commander and the greatest man.

Later, the mineral water in Taedong-ri, which was not known, became a popular place and many people visited it.

Thanks to the warm love of the President for the people, sanatorium and rest home were built there after the Fatherland Liberation War, contributing to the promotion of the people's health. -0-
