Driving Ordinary Woman to Hospital

One day in December 1966, a woman was going to hospital with a sick child on her back.

After a while, a car was pulled up beside her.

When Chairman Kim Jong Il asked where she was going with her child on back in cold weather, she said she was going to the hospital.

The Chairman personally opened the door, asking her to get into his car.

After asking her about the reason why she went to hospital, the Chairman said that if one was ill, he or she should be treated soon, not making illness worse, worrying about the health of the child.

Saying that if children are ill, we cannot expect the future and happiness, he added that only when children, the king of the country, are in good health and have a bright smile, we can smile brightly and hope for a good future.

Then he drove her to the hospital.

Only a moment later she knew that he was the Chairman and shed hot tears with emotion. -0-
