To be honest, I haven't read a novel for a long time. After entering the university, I haven't read novels for seven and a half years. First, my major didn't start "University Chinese". Second, I have been "full-hearted" and cannot extricate myself from the endless technical books, I forgot to look up at other worlds.
In a chat not long ago, when I asked my colleagues about the books he was reading, he recommended the kite chaser he was reading. and two days later, I brought the Chinese version of books to me (Chinese documents are rare in my business trip ). In this way, the first novel met in seven and a half years later.
When my colleagues told me that this book is about the Afghan, I am not very interested in it because I have never been very interested in the culture of Central Asia and Muslims, I always think that technology and economy are too backward, religion is too stubborn, and terrorism is daunting. I read this book for the first 131 weeks. I want to know why ......
It took me three days to read this book, and then I spent three weeks to review this story. I admit that this story did not disappoint me.
I like every character in the novel, except Amir and the "villain. But I know that if I come to the right seat, I will only be the closest to Amir. I mean, in the face of difficulties, his weakness, his escape in the face of his own mistakes, and, some self-centered selfishness. Other roles are almost perfect, even if they all have their own regrets.
There is no friendship between Amir and Asan. I don't believe it is friendship. Amir has never regarded him as an equal friend. Although he thinks that he is happy with him, it is just a Playmates. He even enjoys the joy of being superior to him. Asan may want this relationship to include the part of friendship, but he must be aware of the gap between them. It is also a teenager who lives in a luxurious big house, I live in a simple room next to me. Amil can go to school every day and work at "home". Even, I have to get up early every morning to prepare breakfast and school utensils for Amil. In this way, inequality is hard to really produce friendship. What's more, Amil never put down his "body" in front of outsiders to recognize his friends. This is because of its integrity and kindness. Amir, however, requires a playmates when no one else plays.
Asan has done everything he can. He has taken good care of Amir's life, played with him, And bravely protected him, even for the sake of his honor, he would not hesitate to fight against the hooligans that everyone is afraid. This is really rare. In his adulthood, he was finally killed by the Taliban for the home of Amir and Amir. Asan sticks to his belief that he even regards Amir and Amir's father as relatives (if he can ). He has no flaws. He tries his best to do everything he wants and does well. So in front of him, Amil was ashamed of himself. It is a pity that the injustice of being born has forced asan to come to an end along the fate of the tragedy.
In addition to escaping from Afghanistan, alimir encountered a little "suffering" and had no real experience. Finally, he went to college and married a beautiful man, happy living in the land of the United States, as a famous writer ". However, his childhood may seem happy but full of shadows. His mother died of dystocia at birth, and his only relative (father) was an outstanding character, he spent very little time with his father. He always wanted his father's approval. Unfortunately, he never did. During childhood, the only playmates were betrayed and framed by themselves, and the older wives were still dependent on their fathers. Amir has a reason to "envy" him. He knows how fragile and even ridiculous his sense of superiority is. When he grew up, he began to know that he regretted not cherishing Asan and did not treat him as a friend. It's a pity that everything is too late. When he returned to Afghanistan, he knew everything that happened after he left, and he knew that he was a brother of the same father and mother. He is so painful because he is at least kind. The people around him are too "great", making him feel that his past and present are so heavy that he will not be able to afford it. So when he knew that Asan had another son, he found a life-saving straw to redeem his life-saving straw. In the end, he relieved his mental burden, but I still regret it for him, because the people who really waited for him to do what he should do (Asan, Amir's father, allassin) he has done everything for himself. But at least, he gave his son new hopes, which is better than doing nothing.
In fact, most people have their own regrets in the past, and they have memories that they do not want to turn up in the dust. But if this regret makes you unable to move forward, you can't afford it. So, it is better to have the courage to face it, do something, redeem yourself also need the courage, do not wait too late. In fact, I really hope that at the end of the novel, Amil and asan will fly kites in Afghanistan.
Other roles in the novel are also very interesting, especially the father of Amir. Leave them for the future. Friends who have not read this book, have time to look for it. This is a delicate and touching book. The top of the list is actually named.
