Kim Jong Il has died, and North Korea mourns his death. Kim Jong Il was reportedly born on 16 February 1941 in Khabarovsk, USSR, as the eldest son of Kim Il Sung and his first wife, Kim Jong Suk. The year of his birth has subsequently been changed to 1942 to make a more convenient 30-year age difference between himself and his father, and the place of his birth was altered to become a secret camp on Mt. Paektu in Samjiyon County, Ryanggang Province.

Congratulations to both City Islanders for their work helping to make City Island a holiday light festival.
