How can this not bring a tear to the eye? From North Korea's official Rodong Sinmun, the heart-warming story of Kim Jong-un's Rainbow of Love:

In Pyongyang the full service ship Mujigae (Rainbow) is floating on the River Taedong.

On Sept 27, 2015 the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un, watching the ship decorated with light lamps on the promenade on the river bank, said that the full service ship Mujigae looks like a colorful rainbow, the River Taedong gets brighter and Pyongyang is wonderful by day as well as by night.

Officials could hardly repress their emotions because they recalled again the devotion of the respected General Secretary who personally guided the design of the full service ship for several times, solved the knotty problems arising in its building and also named it Mujigae.

The respected General Secretary, looking round the ship to learn in detail about its building and preparations for service, took a benevolent step for normal operation of the full service ship and emphasized that they must offer the minute and delicate service to people lest the people should feel inconvenience.

He warmly said that thinking of the people who will cheerfully laugh and talk while cruising the River Taedong helps him recover from the pent-up fatigue and he feels the greatest pleasure when having provided one more wealth to the people.

It was not long before a picturesque scene was unfolded in the River Taedong.

The floating full service ship Mujigae reminds people of a rainbow standing on the River Taedong. And the people on board seem to be virtuous men and women from the sky.

Therefore people visiting the ship keenly feel the love of the respected General Secretary, who devotes his all to people, and say, bursting out their excitement, as follows;

A natural rainbow disappears, but the Mujigae (rainbow in Korean) on the River Taedong is standing for all seasons conveying the history of love for people.
