"The Lion" and "The Kite Runner" have feelings——same birth, different environment, different life "The Lion" protagonist Saro was born in rural India. After he got lost at the age of 5, he took the train to Calcutta by mistake. After being adopted by an Australian couple, he lived a better life than his hometown until he graduated from university and started a journey to find his roots. His original family still lives in rural India. "The Kite Runner" The rich young master Amir and Hassan are brothers and sisters. After a kite competition, a tragic thing happened. Amir felt self-blame and pain for his cowardice and forced Hassan away. After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Amir immigrated to the United States with his father. When he became an adult, Amir became a writer. Hasan and his wife were killed by the Taliban for guarding Amir's home. Hasan's son became an orphan and was imprisoned and abused by the Taliban. Amir rescues Hassan's son and brings it back to America in order to atone for his sins. In "The Lion", Saro and his sister "The Kite Runner" Amir and Hassan were born in the same environment. The fork in the fate trajectory when they were young obviously caused the difference in life in the future. Buffett said the "ovarian lottery" is crucial, especially for ordinary people. Jews living in Germany and the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, adults living in China and the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, people of the same ethnicity living in North Korea and South Korea, living in post-reform China and under the control of the military government Myanmar... Even if their abilities are not much different, their living conditions are different. In the 40 years of reform and opening up, the fate of many ordinary people has changed since then. It is not because of personal ability. The environment is like a rising elevator. As long as you don't do anything to kill you, you can be sent to the roof and live with the same person. Without elevators in Vietnam, Syria, and Afghanistan, it is much more difficult to climb stairs on foot. From another point of view, we have been born, so what should we do? Obviously, it should not be silently accepting the solidification of the stratum without making any efforts and changes. It is indeed harder to change the stratum now than before, but it is not completely closed, and it can still be changed through the efforts of two and three generations. Conclusion: In China, where you were born is very, very important. Reincarnation is an art. If you are unfortunate enough to be born in a non-developed area, your task is, don't be fooled by the so-called high housing prices in first-tier cities and so on, be sure to work hard to toss to developed areas (not just China) - at least let your descendants , living in a place with more money, better education, better resources, fairer and longer life from the law of large numbers! Of course, the thinking of the two movies is not only this point. In "The Lion", the white couple will not have children and only adopt orphans in order to have one less unfortunate person in the world, including adopting a younger brother with mental illness; the love between the male protagonist and his girlfriend of different skin color ; how to face the biological father
