    • 2004 September, Bradley K. Martin, “Yura”, in Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader: North Korea and the Kim Dynasty, 1st edition, Thomas Dunne Books, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 223:
      During a scorching lowland heat wave the following August, the Kims prudently chose to focus their guidance on remote Pungsan County, in the high, cool mountains of Yanggang Province. []
      In those instances Kim Jong-il kept his role to investigating quietly, advising his father of his findings and recommendations. One wonders, then, about the real feelings of an obsequious school official in Pungsan County when the college boy stepped out of the staff role and decided to guide the official directly in the work of running the Pungsan Middle School.
