Looking Far into the Future 

  Chairman Kim Jong Il proposed to rezone the cultivated land across the country, which was a tremendous nature-remaking project.
While looking round a place in Kangwon Province where the project was under way, he instantly noticed the transformed plots were not large enough, and suggested bigger standards of land realignment. He said: If you carry out land rezoning like this you can hardly reduce the number of ridges sufficiently, and I am afraid we will have to do the project again in several years. Now that we have begun to realign the fields, we should make all plots large enough to be admired even in ten or fifty years later, even if the project might affect the farming for a few years.
The Chairman was a great architect of national prosperity and the future generation’s wellbeing, who had a foresight into the distant future of the nation. Thanks to his far-reaching plan and lofty patriotism, a tremendous land realignment project was planned, which nobody could imagine.
Thanks to his grand plan of nature-remaking projects, large-sized gravitational waterways extended to carry life-giving water to socialist fields and a miracle was wrought in the Taegyedo tideland reclamation, which meant the remaking of the country’s map, when the country was in such a difficult economic condition.
