One is the friendship between the young Amir and Ha Sun, Ha Sun's loyalty, Amir's cowardice and betrayal, and the most heartbreaking thing is watching a young boy break good things. The young Amir couldn't face the shadow design in his heart to drive Hasson and his father out of the house, and he and his father eventually fled to the United States because of the war in the country. This childhood reminiscence is the richest and most evocative part of the original novel. The simple boy Hassan happily helped his Master Amir chasing the kite, while he did not forget to turn his head and say to him, "For you thousands of times, this is not only a promise, but also an oath. For this, he silently said. Having endured the ravages of bad people on his body, and silently bearing Amir's cowardice and framed him, this is not an equal friendship, it bears too much one person's sacrifice and another person's betrayal.
The second is the growth of Amir in middle age, he learned to make a living in a poor environment, insisted on writing, he fell in love with a person, married him, he sent his father away (death), and experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows in life These have to be overcome. However, he has not really grown up. At the core, he is still the young master who lacks self-confidence. With uneasy eyes, he is ready to retreat from the difficulties and dangers of life at any time, and he does not even have enough courage to take responsibility. All this was only when Hasson's death, his life experience, and the tragic experience of Hasson's son were placed in front of him, did he force him to reflect and change. What my father's friend said to him, "You have to go back to Afghanistan, because there is a way to be a good man again" was not out of the blue, and I don't even think it came out of someone else's mouth, but Amir My own inner motto. In the process of returning to China, he also wanted to escape several times. After all, he is just an ordinary person. Back is a happy and stable life in the United States, and forward is Afghanistan, where his life and death are uncertain, his home country, but there is Hasson fighting for it. The things that life also protects are Hassan's only descendant and his unavoidable kinship. These are the only ways to make him a good man again, and he has nowhere to go before his conscience.
In the end there is Amir's redemption of Hassan's son Sohrab, or vice versa. Sorapo became the favorite of senior Taliban officials, and even after being rescued, he could no longer open his heart to anyone. This seems to overlap with the experience of young Hassan being raped. They are always insulted and damaged, but this time, Amir can't run away again, he must face all the consequences caused by his cowardice. Thus, the story became a complete "ring" - Hasson's reckless friendship with him, his unrequited atonement for Hasson's son, the tear-jerking "for you thousands of times over" "It also finally returned from Hassan's mouth to Amir's mouth and became his commitment to Sohrab.
I read this book in a hurry about two years ago, but it still feels fresh in my memory. The author's experience has shaped such a beautiful and brutal novel, and has brought tears to countless others between the pages. This is not a story that can be recorded in a running account, but a frank account of the beauty of one soul and the growth of another soul. There are countless backgrounds, events and people in it. They enrich the story itself and let every reader feel The soul is also interrogated and tortured together, and finally sublimated together with the protagonist. This is the reason why readers cannot be satisfied with this film, because it is actually, really, not simple or thin. It's not as Americanism, so lighthearted, as the movie describes it.
