On the Peak of Ski Slopes
On May 26
On an observation site, he got acquainted in detail with the progress of the construction of the slopes and heliport and instructed on expanding the pavilion on Taehwa Peak, the pinnacle of the resort, building an intermediate pavilion and planting superior species of trees in the overall areas of the resort.
On the top of Taehwa Peak 1 360 m above sea level, he said the sunrise enjoyed from here would be a spectacular sight and the resort was beautiful now, but it would be all the more so when it was covered with snow.
To the Creation of “Masikryong Speed”
On June 4
In the appeal he mentioned the devoted struggle of the service personnel who were seconded to the development of the Masikryong Ski Resort. He noted that they had achieved in less than one year since the start of the project the amazing success of building ski slopes of more than 100 000m long in total in an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters by removing rocks and making rugged ridges smooth. This is a miracle that can be wrought only by the officers and men of the KPA who are ready to move mountains or fill up seas at the risk of their lives if it is an order and instruction of the Party, he stressed. He expressed his belief that the soldier-builders, who had performed heroic feats of labor in the grand socialist construction, would build the ski resort within that year by creating the “Masikryong speed” by dint of indefatigable mental strength and strenuous onward campaign and that with that spirit and mettle all other service personnel and people would bring about a great leap and great innovations on all the fronts of socialist construction.
His appeal served as great propellant that gave full play to the mental strength of all the service personnel and people and encouraged them to work unprecedented miracles and feats of labor in the building of a thriving socialist country.
To Create a Symbol of a Civilized Nation
On August 17,
In response to his patriotic appeal to create the “Masikryong speed,” the builders had already finished framework construction of 20 structures, overcoming the steep mountainous conditions and the unfavorable weather of the rainy season.
Noting that the area of Masik Pass had been fundamentally transformed compared to that on May 26, when he had visited it previously, he spoke highly of the builders for working world-startling miracles in the construction project.
After clarifying the detailed tasks for accelerating the construction, he said that the ski resort was an ever-lasting monumental edifice where the people would be able to enjoy the benefits of socialism even in the distant future and a symbol of a civilized nation, stressing that the builders should ensure the quality of the structures on the highest level so that they could take the responsibility for the safety of the project and guarantee its absolute quality for all eternity.
He continued that the service personnel and civilians, in concerted efforts, should build the ski resort into a world-class one and thus provide the people, including youth and students, with another condition for a happier and more civilized living so as to ensure that the area of Masik Pass reverberated with the laughter of people of a socialist country and cheers for the Workers’ Party.
To Have the Ski Resort Built to Be Perfect
On November 2,
First looking round the Masikryong Hotel, he expressed his satisfaction that the hotel was being built to be in good harmony with the mountainous area and the beauty of nature, pointing out that it was an immaculate architectural structure which fully embodied the Party’s architectural idea of designing and building a structure in line with the demands of its characteristics and usage.
Then looking round the pavilion on the amateur and beginners’ slope, he said it had been built well as intended by the Party, continuing that all the other pavilions at the ski resort should be built to be perfect so that visitors could relax themselves there without any inconvenience while training their physiques.
He gave further tasks for building the resort into a world-class one and the ways for implementing them.
Saying that the construction project was nearing completion, he stressed that credit went solely to the soldier-builders, brilliant fruition of the heroic feats they had performed.
He then said: The Party was right when it had decided to entrust the army with the project. The Party feels dignified and proud to have such an army.
Inspecting the Ski Resort Again
In order to enable his people to enjoy the benefits of socialism at an earlier date,
As the service personnel created the “Masikryong speed,” a new a-match-for-hundred charging speed in the 21th century, true to the
He looked round the Masikryong Hotel, ski service and accommodation buildings and the pavilions on the amateur and beginners’ ski slopes.
Appreciating that the designing, execution of building work and selection of building materials for all the structures and service facilities and the distribution of structures had been done as intended by the Party, he said that the first thing he was satisfied with especially was the fact that all of them had been built by the Korean people’s efforts and technology and the resort could be operated by themselves.
Looking at the ski slopes which are world class in terms of number and total length, he said he felt very happy to picture in his mind the people, including youth and students, who would run down the slopes laughing and roaring.
After instructing that they should build more structures for the accommodation of hundreds of people at a time so that students from across the country could spend winter camping days while skiing, skating and sledging, he located their sites and clarified the tasks they must not miss in the second-stage project.
Saying that he felt his heart moved as he thought about the soldier-builders who were carrying out the Party’s order unto death even in the biting cold of December, he emphasized that our Party would always remember the feats they had performed for their country and fellow people.
Thanks to his plan and tireless leadership for the country’s prosperity and people’s well-being and to the patriotic struggle of the service personnel who were devotedly implementing his intention, the day of completion of the ski resort project was coming nearer.
Devotion
The heroic struggle of the service personnel who had wholeheartedly responded to the Party’s call for building a socialist civilized country gave birth in a short period to a ski resort in the picturesque mountainous area on Masik Pass, a comprehensive winter sports base equipped with all the conditions for sports, tourism and relaxation.
On December 28,
First he looked round the Masikryong Hotel and ski service and accommodation buildings.
Making the rounds of a restaurant, shop, bookstore and snack bar, he acquainted himself with the preparation and plan of their service. Expressing his satisfaction that all the service facilities had been built to conform to the aspirations, demands, emotions and aesthetic tastes of the Korean people and to provide conveniences for the guests to the maximum, he said that they all sustained the specific features of the area of Masik Pass and were flawless.
To acquaint himself with the safety and convenience of the chairlifts which people would use, he got on one of them.
Climbing up to the snow-covered peak of the pass on a chairlift picturing in his mind the people who would enjoy themselves at the resort, he was all smiles.
On one mid-summer day, during his field guidance trip, he said in the following vein:
I’ll never forget the trust and expectations our Party, army and people place on me, and work devotedly for the Party and revolution and for the country and people. I’m ready to dedicate my life without hesitation at this moment if it is for the Party and revolution and for the country and people.
Indeed, he was devoting his all, and he will do so in the future, too.
