2006年访华时,忙了一天的金正日一定要接见白天跟随他们走访的中方外事人员。据一位外事人员回忆,金正日那天晚上意外地使用中文和他们交谈,他的中国话非常流利,甚至知道北京的口头禅“哥们儿”。“他说自己当年如何喜欢拍电影,还喜欢做诗,喜欢毛泽东的诗词,李白的诗句更是张口就来。” During his visit to China in 2006, Kim Jong Il, who had been busy for a day, must meet with Chinese foreign staff who followed during the day. According to one foreign staff member, Kim Jong Il unexpectedly used Chinese to talk to them that night. His Chinese language was very fluent and he even knew Beijing’s mantra “Buddy”. “He said he liked how to make movies in the past, but also like to do poetry, like Mao Zedong’s poetry, Li Bai’s poem is even more.”
