The three main populations in Afghanistan are Pashtun (about 40 per cent of the total population), Halaza (about 25 per cent of the total population) and Tajiks (about 10 per cent of the total population), and the predominant Pashtuns, who are predominant in population and caste, have been severely discriminating against other ethnic groups. The protagonist Amir is an authentic Pashtun, born into a wealthy merchant family, whose father has accumulated great wealth through business. Ali grew up with his father and had a son named Hassan. Ali had always been a servant of Amir's household. The specific relationship is as follows:
List of main characters
Hassan and Amir grew up drinking the same milk, and in Hassan's heart, Amir's status is extremely high. He was illiterate, born with a rabbit lip, and Amir's status was very different, but Amir was willing to play with him, willing to share stories with him, and explain words to him, so as a servant, he had always been upright, honest, loyal, and only for Amir's sake, thinking that Young Master Amir would never betray him.
Young Master Amir and Hassan toddler together, his childhood is almost everywhere hassan's shadow, although he is in love with Hassan, but because of the apparent master-servant relationship, Amir never considered Hassan to be his friend, just like his father mentioned his past with Ali, and never said that Ali was his friend.
He was born into a prestigious family, with no worries, but he was introverted and cowardly, and when he and Hassan were surrounded in the alley by the infamous Assef, it was Hassan who forced him to pull up the slingshot and force Assef to leave. Amir's father believes that Amir has lacked a spirit of resistance from childhood, and there is no shadow of him in him. When bullied by the neighbor's children, he did not dare to resist, and always Hassan rushed out to rescue him, just like he said, "a child who cannot stand up for himself can only be a coward when he grows up", so Amir seems to be able to get his father's affirmation no matter how well he does, and he even jealous that Hassan can get his father's love.
The turning point occurred at the annual kite chasing competition in Afghanistan, where Amir fought to the end, won the first place in the competition, and achieved the same achievements as Amir's father that year, which made his father's opinion change. However, during the wind chasing competition, when Hassan went to chase the trophy broken kite, he was once again surrounded by Assef and demanded to hand over the kite, and Hassan ning was beaten and ravaged by Assef. At this time, Amir was watching everything that happened not far away, and after countless ideological struggles, he was defeated by cowardice and fled, failing to stand up for Hassan, resulting in tragedy.
After this incident, Amir can no longer face Hassan calmly, and he tries to provoke Hassan to beat himself up in exchange for peace of mind, but Hassan still hassan's loyalty to him who chooses to shout "for you, thousands of times". Because he really couldn't stand his inner uneasiness, he secretly hid his watch under Hassan's pillow to frame Hassan's father and son and eventually force them away. Soon after the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, Amir and his father left their homeland for the United States.

After immigrating to the United States, he lost his resources in Afghanistan, and the father and son lived a more poor life than before, sometimes even having to go to the flea market to buy daily necessities, but Amir grew up without rain and rain, from having nothing to establishing his own family business. As an adult, Amir fell in love with the daughter of an old Afghan general and successfully married her. At this time, he became a well-known writer and had a happy marriage, but he could not get rid of the guilt of Hassan in his heart. A phone call from his father's friend Racine Khan before his death shattered his peaceful life, and in order to make up for his regret for Hassan, he set foot on his hometown where he had been separated for more than twenty years...

Twenty years later, Afghanistan is no longer the beautiful and fertile Afghanistan it once was, full of poverty, hunger and devastation, as if to indicate that this journey is destined to be full of ups and downs. Seeing Rahim Khan again, he learns a shocking secret from the dying Rahim Khan – Hassan is actually his half-brother! This is undoubtedly a thunderbolt for Amir, at this time Afghanistan is under the rule of the Taliban, Hassan has long been the Taliban's gun in order to protect his old home, in order to redeem himself, he has traveled to search for Hassan's orphan Sohrab. On the Pashtun stadium, he witnessed the Taliban leader he was about to meet, smashing a pair of men and women who had been caught stealing affairs alive with stones, which made Amir's thoughts and turbulence, wondering if he would be able to leave alive. After the real meeting, he recognized at a glance that he was facing Assef, the fanatical racist who had persecuted Hassan, and Amir finally met Sohrab, who was looking for him, but Sohrab was reduced to a dance boy who was used as a sexual tool. The same narrow road meets, the same people, this time, in order to save Sohrab from the sea of suffering. He bravely endured this late punch and kick, although his internal organs were severely damaged by it. But the shackles that had been entangled for more than twenty years were lifted, and finally Sohrab struck Assef hard with a slingshot, allowing Amir to successfully take Sohrab and complete the redemption of the heart.
