breadwinner

It was a misfortune to be born in that country as a daughter. There is no freedom to go out, there is no freedom to speak, even buying something is not allowed because it is a woman, the low position is really low. This was not the case at the beginning. Because of the war, their country was defeated and became a colony of another country. They were ruled, enslaved, and lost their right to speak. Therefore, peace is very precious, the independence of a country is very important, and a strong country is more important.

The character of the heroine Parwana did not attract me, and I admired her good friend Shoshiya more. Xiaoxia is optimistic, cheerful and tenacious. She cuts her hair short and dresses herself up as a boy, trying to survive in that world. She has dreams and works hard for them. She also taught Parwana a lot of tricks to make money at the fair. In contrast, Shoxia is braver, more independent, and feels more free in her mind.

    Can't you just leave it alone? Can't you just pretend you haven't seen it? Do you know what the situation is now? He is just a person.

    It's heavy and can't bear to look directly, but it's full of power... There are always difficulties in life that are beyond imagination. This is where family and friendship are even more precious. They are the pillar of survival and the only kind of tenderness... There is no ending. Set up a big reunion but two small reunions, calm and restrained, it doesn't matter whether you deliberately avoid stereotypes, because in such a world what will happen next second is completely unknown, I hope this family can finally reunite...

    Nurullah: Anything written, anything read! Pashto and Dari. Beautiful items for sale.

  • Shauzia: Have you ever been to the sea?

    Parvana: No.

    Shauzia: Neither have I. But I have heard that the moon pulls the water onto the shore and then back out again. I want to see that.
