"For you, a thousand times!" He flashed a Hassanish smile and disappeared into the corner.
He is a kite chaser, every time the kite is broken, he can always accurately determine where the kite is going to fall, and after retrieving the kite, he will hand it to his young master Amir.
He was a faithful "servant" whose name was Hassan.
The novel "The Kite Chaser", written by the Afghan-American writer Khaled Al-Husseini, is a novel about human nature. Hassan is a man who is deeply discriminated against by The Afghan religion, but he has a brave and fearless personality, and is deeply liked by Amir's father, Hassan has always regarded Young Amir as his friend, willing to do anything for him, in order to help Amir retrieve the kite that won the game, Hassan was raped and humiliated by Assef. However, Amir, in order to get all of his father's love and guilt for Hassan, managed to drive away Ali's father and son. More than a decade later, Amir's father's good friend, Asin Khan, called Amir who was far away in the United States, told him all the truth, and in order to make up for everything, Amir began his human redemption.
Newton once said: I can calculate the orbit of celestial bodies, but I cannot calculate the madness of human nature.
The human heart is complex and unpredictable, and everyone has a share of good and evil because of their individual ideas; at the same time, the human heart is selfish, and a person will choose to abandon his personal morality and ignore the suffering of others for his own benefit.
People, the most embarrassing thing is to overestimate their position in the hearts of others, in fact, you know that the most despicable is not feelings, the coolest is not people's hearts.
"Young Master Amir and I are friends." Hassan said with a red face.
"Friend?" Assef laughed and said, "You poor idiot! One day you will wake up from this little fantasy and discover what a good friend he is. Listen, enough, give us the kite. ”
Hassan was a servant of amir's family and his childhood playmate, in the same way that his father, Ali, a disabled orphan, became a servant of Amir's family because he was taken in by Amir's grandfather.
Ali grew up with Amir's dad, and they were playmates as children, just as Hassan and Amir grew up together a generation later.
Whenever Amir's father talked about his prank with Ali, Ali would shake his head and say, "But, sir, tell them who is the designer of those pranks and who is the poor hard worker." At this point, Amir's father would laugh and reach out and wrap his arms around Ali.
Whenever Amir's dad told these stories, he never mentioned Ali as his friend, and just as Amir, in front of others, he never admitted that Hassan was his friend.
Like Amir, he never played with Hassan in front of everyone, much less admitted that Hassan was his friend.
Because their father and son are Hazaras!
Because of the religious discrimination in Afghanistan, Amir, like his father, has a delicate relationship with Ali's father and son, and the two generations are both fungiants but refuse to recognize this friendship, in the end, it is all because of vanity.
The amir father and son were glorious in front of everyone, but in front of the Ali father and son, they were guilty and vain, and it was this sense of shame that made them feel inferior in front of everyone all the time.
When Amir and Hassan are playing together, Assef and several people will always come to provoke, consciously or unconsciously, and he will take pleasure in making fun of Hassan and bullying Amir.
In the face of evil forces, Hassan always stood up for Young Master Amir, and Amir always stood cowardly behind Hassan.
Assef knew that Amir was a timid and fearful man, and Hassan's racial status was low, so they didn't take him seriously.
They didn't know how much Hassan cared about Amir more than his own life, and they could even sacrifice himself for Young Master Amir.
At the Afghan National Kite Competition, Amir and Hassan won the competition together, Hassan was always the "kite chaser", he ran alone to the kite landing site in order to retrieve the honored kite.
In order to get the kite, Assef blocked Hassan and demanded that Hassan either give them the kite or pay the price for it.
In order to promise to young master Amir, Hassan was beaten and raped by several people in Assef.
All this was seen by Amir, who was hiding not far from the corner, who could have stepped forward to stop it, but he chose to hide in the corner cowardly, watching hassan, who could be humiliated for him thousands of times.
There is a saying:
Everyone has two sides in their hearts, some people are like wolves galloping madly on the grassland at any time to show their majesty, some people are like puppies in front of the door cowardly and humble to live waiting for the master's handout, we have two sides, madness and cowardice in our world constantly alternate. When a person is cowardly to the extreme, he is bound to go crazy if he is not numb.
Perhaps, amir at that time was like this.
Amir was a man who longed to be loved, and when he was born, his mother died of excessive bleeding, and he was always eager to get his father's love.
He tried to do everything well, hoping to get his father's praise.
Amir has loved to write stories since he was a child, and every time he finishes writing them, he reads them to Hassan and gets satisfaction from Hassan's praise.
When he gleefully showed the novel to his father, his father, after casually answering the question, set the novel aside and never read it, much to Amir's dismay.
Once, Amir's father and his good friend Asin Khan chatted, just happened to be heard by Amir in the corridor, it turned out that in amir's father's eyes, Hassan was a brave and responsible person, and Amir was a timid and fearful person, and his father hated him a little.
Dad's denial of him made Amir feel disgusted with Hassan.
On Hassan's birthday, Amir's father asked the doctor to help him get a rabbit lip surgery as a birthday present for him.
Dad's preference for Hassan made Amir deeply feel that his father's love had been split in half by Hassan.
He was jealous that Hassan could easily get his father's praise and affirmation, and that as a son, he would have a hard time getting his approval.
Hassan is raped and humiliated by Assef in order to help Amir retrieve the kite that won the game, which makes it impossible for Amir to face Hassan anymore, and amir in order to erase this memory, he thinks of making a plan to frame Hassan.
In order to drive Hassan away, Amir framed Hassan for stealing, so that Ali and Hassan had to leave the house.
Hassan's departure makes Dad sad, and Amir may not understand that Dad's love for Hassan is actually the same as his love for him, but all this can only be a secret!
If we want to get the love of others, the most important thing is not whether others love us, but whether we are worthy of being loved.
After Hassan left, Amir got all the love he had for his father, but this love not only made him feel painful, but also guilty.
In order to defend Amir's house in Afghanistan, Hassan and his wife were killed by the Taliban, while his son was captured by Assef.
Hassan's whole life has been keeping his promise for Amir: for you, thousands of times! However, Amir was hurt again and again because of vanity, cowardice, and jealousy.
Although Hassan was well aware of young master Amir's human weakness, he still believed to his death that young master Amir was his friend, and he willingly gave and sacrificed for his friend.
Hassan overestimated the friendship between them, but in Amir's mind, he was nothing! Just the kite chaser!
Man, remember: no matter who you are, don't overestimate your place in the hearts of others, or you'll become worthless!
