 In the morning on October 9, 1945, one day before the Party was founded, Kim Il Sung left for the (then)Kangson Steel Plant.
Anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters were very pleased to accompany him.
It was because they thought that he would probably go to Mangyongdae, his native place.
Fields, contiguous to Mangyongdae, and low hills covered with branchy young pine trees approached his car window one after another.
Looking at mountains and river of his native place with deep emotion, Kim Il Sung stopped his car on a fork road to Mangyongdae.
He got off the car and looked at his native place which led along path for carts and said… That is Mangyongdae. It is a very good place.
Kim Il Sung was in deep emotion as he was so near to his native place, Mangyongdae which he had left at the age of 14 and had never forgotten any moment in the 20-year anti-Japanese war.
The fighters requested Kim Il Sung in earnest that he should visit Mangyongdae no matter how busy he might be. He asked an official to go Mangyongdae instead of him. He said… I think you will like Mangyongdae. My grandparents will be there. Send my regards to them. And as the country is liberated, I can meet them sooner or later. Tell them that a good country will be built in the future.
The official earnestly requested him again to drop in at Mangyongdae even for a moment.
But Kim Il Sung told him… I will go there later. Native places can be well-off only when the country is well built.
The official could not but go to Mangyongdae along the fork road.
Kim Il Sung’s aged grandparents and relatives anxiously waited for him with expectations with a twig gate of the native house open all day long. But the building of a new country was so important and urgent for him that he turned his steps to Kangson.
Since then the fork to Mangyongdae was a historic road to tell to posterities the high intention of Kim Il Sung who placed revolution before his native place and the popular masses above his families and relatives.
