Yesterday, I went to the cinema with my friends to watch "The Kite Runner", and I burst into tears. I was wearing a new top that I bought in a small shop in Nepal, the neckline was loose and low, and the tears flowed all the way down my chest. In light and shadow, I experienced another life. It's an honest movie, with no aggressive actors and no fancy shots. However, we cried one after another. When was the last time you cried so hard? Maybe it's filming, maybe watching a movie... In short, it's related to the drama...
I've heard about the novel "The Kite Runner" for a long time, and everyone who has read it says it's good, but it's true It is this unanimously recognized good that makes me resist. Several times I was about to pick it up in the bookstore and put it back, replaced by mysticism or the philosophy of Chinese medicine. Born in the 1980s, I had no major history, so I was fascinated by Jung and various Rinpoches because they took me on spiritual adventures.
However, after crying a lot and sitting in a street stall with my friends, I suddenly realized that I don't respect life so much. In "The Kite Runner", I saw how a boy grows up, how to hide his cowardice and how to make up for his sins. I also saw the helplessness of a family in a history, love and hate, courage and dignity, selfishness and loyalty... Looking back at the book I wrote, it is like a gem scattered in the grass, Only those with a heart can pick up one or two by stepping on the morning dew. However, "The Kite Runner" is a series of beautiful necklaces. The precious stones are skillfully combined by the author with silk threads and knots. How can those who see it not be moved?

The Kite Runner quotes

  • Amir: [explaining Sohrab's presence] You see, General Sahib, my father slept with his servant's wife, and she bore him a son named Hassan. Hassan is dead now. That boy sleeping in the other room is Hassan's son. He's my nephew. That's what you tell people when they ask. And one more thing, General Sahib: you will never again refer to him as "a Hazara boy" in my presence. He has a name, and it's Sohrab.

  • Baba: [as Dr. Starobin examines him] Where are you from?

    Dr. Starobin: I grew up in Michigan. Came out here for medical school. Once you get used to that California sunshine...

    Baba: But your family?

    Dr. Starobin: My family? We're originally from Russia.

    [Baba shoves him away, and is next seen with a different doctor]
