Adapted from "Parwana's Waiting", this is not a true story, but it really happened in Afghanistan. Her father was imprisoned, her eldest son died, her mother was sick and her younger brother was nursing. Young Parwana could only disguise herself as a man and take to the streets to take on the responsibility of supporting her family.
Under the ruthless rule of the Taliban, in war-torn Afghanistan, ordinary people live a life like hell, especially women, who are subjected to inhuman treatment under the shackles of extreme fundamentalist laws. With it, you can't walk alone on the street even if you have a full burqa...
Parwana's mother told her: "Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, my baby girl, it may not be as good as you think when you grow up", "fill your stomach and worry less", and I watched. The son in front of him wanted to tell him how lucky he was to be born in a peaceful and prosperous country.
There is a line that impressed me: Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow, not thunder.
PS: The painting is very quintessential: a woman disguised as a man looks like a boy at first glance, but if you look closely, it really looks like a girl, and the work is very deep. The lines are also very essential: "killed at the guns of the Russians"? Isn't there more souls who died at the guns of the Americans?
