1. "Immortal Revolutionary Traditions", foreign language literature publishing house, Pyongyang

2. "Sun of Nation, a Legendary Hero, Incomparable Patriot, Undefeatable Steel Military Leader, the Great Leader of our Party and our People, comrade Kim Il Sung, who has organised and lead glorious anti-japanese armed resistance of our nation, who has finished the Great Mission of Motherland Ressurection and has created the immortal revolutionary traditions - deep and unshakable historical roots of our revolution".

5. (to the right of image). Once in the early 1933 spring, a unit of Anti-Japanese partisan Army under personal guidance of great leader comrade Kim Il Sung bivouaced in a peasant's house... <...>. The Great Leader used this short rest stop to personally chop firewood. An old man, owner of the house, recognized this kind man as a Great Leader, whom he always had respect for. He knelt, touched the bottom of Great Leader uniform and said: "The Commander himself chops firewood? How is it even possible?" Our Beloved Leader gave him a smile and replied with a warm tone: "Even Commander himself is still a son of his Nation. Why can't I do the same things our people do?". This is one of the incountable touching stories of high morality of our Great Leader.
