The Kite Runner

[after reading]

At the end of the story, I can't forget that sentence. Maybe this gives me more than just touching or shocking. Such a story, such a The Kite Runner. Even when I was at 1975, I watched a teenager run away to fly a kite for another teenager, and then he said, Qian Qian has done it a million times for you.

As the translator said, the kite here is a metaphor for an indispensable part of personality.

And this story is the epitome of the protagonist "Amir Master" pursuing kites for half his life.

Afghanistan is a nation that values Chinese races, and they discriminate against some races and people of those races. In the story, Amir's servant Hassan was born in a race that was considered despicable. So it seems natural that this servant must live a bullied life, unable to resist and only humble. Because of his race, he can't resist anyone who is considered "pure" and should have lived in Afghanistan. Such a person, with a paralyzed and ridiculed father, learned to be cautious at an early age. However, when Amir was about to be bullied by a noble son, he stood up. Although the hand is just a slingshot.

Amir is a rich boy. He has everything that Hassan doesn't have, but he has everything that Hassan has. Although he keeps repeating in his mind, he never regards Hassan as a friend. He never told Hassan that he was his friend.

One day many years ago, they said the first words in their lives, one was "Dad" and the other was "Amir". All the stories since then seem to be rooted in these five words. They fly kites, which is one of the folk customs in Afghanistan and symbolizes their fragile friendship. But the characters of the two protagonists are completely different: one often doesn't know where to go emotionally and morally, and vacillates; The other is purity, loyalty, virtue and integrity, which directly doomed the bleak prospect of their friendship.

The ethereal "friendship" between two people seems so fragile, but it is so great. Yes, the weakness lies in Amir's ridicule and indifference to Hassan, but the greatness lies in Hassan's sincere feelings for Amir.

"For you, Qian Qian is a hundred times."

When Hassan was full of love for Amir and pursued the trophy of Amir's "Kite Competition", it was a promise, but it also brought a devastating disaster to their friendship.

Amir saw this situation when he was looking for Hassan who was chasing kites, and he didn't know how to evaluate his performance. In this alley, I don't know if my friends are suffering from the humiliation and pain they should have suffered, but Amir just stood in the alley listening, watching and then motionless. As written in the book, Amir is a child of an important family, and Hassan is also a child of an important family. If he comes forward, it will all be over.

But he didn't. His mind is full of how Hassan is better than his past. It's all about "servant" and "race". He is just jealous. After that, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Hassan, so he began to alienate him, then hated him, and even framed him with childish means of children and drove him away.

Amir finally drove Hassan and his son away. He framed Hassan with great anxiety and pain, but Hassan saved him for the last time and recited the unwarranted charges with tears.

Then Amir suddenly realized, "He knows that I saw everything in the alley and that I stood there and stood by. He knew I betrayed him, but he saved me again, perhaps for the last time. At that moment, I fell in love with him. I love him more than anyone. I just want to tell them that I am a poisonous snake in the grass and a monster at the bottom of the lake. "

Shortly after Hassan left, due to the Soviet invasion, Amir fled to California with his father and settled in San Francisco with his wife.

"There is a way to be a good person again."

Many years later, Rahim Khan in Pakistan said. Rahim Khan, the man who urged him to embark on the road of literature. Childhood scenes appear repeatedly in front of our eyes: the beautiful and prosperous streets of Kabul, the father's mansion surrounded by roses, cherry water and roast mutton, the dragon slayer, the biography of the seven chivalrous men, and Charles? Bronson, rostain and Solabo, and colorful kites flying all over the sky. When Rahim Khan told Amir Hassan that he was his half-brother, Amir should have felt something earlier: his father's love for Hassan was higher than that between master and servant, and their affection was above everything else.

Everything in this story seems to be predestined. Amir once again set foot on the land of Afghanistan and then took back Hassan's orphans. At that time, he had entered middle age, and the distant time was still vivid. I began to feel guilty about Hassan when I was twelve. Maybe when Amir dragged Solabo (Hassan's son) into the immigration office and said, "He is my nephew", he was already on the way to be a good person again.

For you, a thousand times.

The most important sentence in the book begins with the servant Hassan chasing a kite for Amir, passes another friend of Amir's, farid, and is later said by Amir while chasing a kite for Solabo, who is exhausted physically and mentally. The former is out of sincere love for his friends and loyalty to his master, and farid is also out of selfless feelings for his friends, while the latter is out of understanding, liberation, atonement and love.

A Hundred Times for You, Qian Qian. Isn't it beautiful? Hassan went to chase kites for his master, or his "friend". However, God will not be so merciful. "I watched Hassan being raped." At this time, Amir had nothing but regret. He hates his cowardice, his selfishness and even Hassan's sincere and selfless dedication to him. However, on the pomegranate tree on the hill, there are knife marks: Amir and Hassan, sultans (rulers) in Kabul.

At the end of the story, Amir is chasing kites among a group of children. He is going to chase this kite to the autistic boy Solabo. Just because the young man's eyes came alive again, he nodded slightly.

Then he smiled. He said, for you, Qian Qian, a hundred times.

Time seems to blend together.

The child flying a kite, The Kite Runner. He ran in the laughter of a group of children, and as for the result, it didn't seem so important.

Just like Hassan used to catch a kite every time, Amir always knew that he was not chasing a kite, but knew where it was.

Yes, "we don't need to know where the broken kite will fly, and even its shadow is not worth following." Because as long as you can do it with your heart, you will definitely move in the direction you pursue. "
