One day in February 2005, Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a newly-remodeled theatre.
Looking round the atrium with satisfaction, he was heading for the stairs. Then he stopped with his eyes directed to the floor and stairs.
After a while, he told officials in an anxious voice that new visitors to the theatre or the elderly may slip on the stairs since the color of the floor and stairs are same and even the copper strips stuck at the ends of stairs are similar with floor in color.
And he warmly advised them to attach the dark brown glasses to the inside of the copper strip at the top of the stairs so that the floor and stairs could be distinguished.
The officials were seized with remorse at the moment.
It was the Chairman's standard of evaluation over the creation of lasting value that a priority should be given to the people's liking and convenience before attaching importance to the magnificence, splendor, economic effectiveness and aesthetic taste of the times of architectural structures. -0-
