State Merited Chorus: The General uses Warp

Korean: 장군님 축지법 쓰신다 Composition: Kim Un-ryong (김운룡) Lyrics: Jong Ryol (정렬) Year of Creation: 1996 Year of Performance: 2010 From the grand Music and Dance Performance “Long March for Victory of Songun“ - One day Chairman Kim Jong Il looked round the Ryongwang Pavilion with an official and gave him precious instructions as to the preservation and upkeep of cultural relics. All of a sudden he asked the official how he reported for work in the morning. The official replied that he did that by bus. Having listened to him, Kim Jong Il remained lost deep in thought for a while. He said that it was advisable for officials to begin their work every day by looking round the city. After a while he warmly said that leaving home early in the morning, officials should make rounds of streets and villages, ascertain with their own eyes if cultural relics were preserved as they were, if streets were cleaned up in time and if the amusement facilities for children were out of order and adopt necessary measures. He earnestly added that it was important to know that genuine patriotism originated from love for one’s street, village and work place. He finally implied that genuine patriotism was not an abstract conception but was derived from love for one’s family, home village and work place.
