随感
回忆的帷幕徐徐拉开,哈桑为了保护老宅子而受到塔利班的迫害,而哈桑唯一的儿子也成了孤儿,阿米尔很伤心,但即便如此,他面对拉辛汗的要求时仍然提出了诸多借口进行推脱,美国优越的生活、他的妻子、工作和慈祥的岳父母,他不会冒险回到喀布尔解救哈桑的儿子。拉辛汗最终将实情和盘托出,原来哈桑与自己是同父异母的亲兄弟后,听到这些,阿米尔内心近乎崩溃,或许是因为父亲和拉辛汗的隐瞒欺骗,或许是因为心底良知的谴责,他久久不能平静,如果他早早知道哈桑的真实身份,那现在又是什么场景?他不敢想也不愿意去想,但最终,他为了弥补自己错误同时也是父亲的错误,决定回到喀布尔,完成这一切。阿米尔自始至终心里仍旧是懦弱的,即便哈桑为了他献出了生命,哈桑对他不离不弃,就像信中写到的"If you do , you will find an old faithful friend waiting for you ."

Hassan wrote this sentence in his letter to Amir . In my perspective, the friendship in Hassan's heart has already beyond the relationship between master and servant. It's as important as his life . But sadly, Amir didn't think so . He refused the request of RK to rescue Soharb which is Hassan's only son by many excuses . His response made RK heart broken . Finally RK told him the truth which is burried a few years. Hassan is the half brother of him .
This new kills Amir inside. Maybe for his heart condemned or for his father's deceive.In the end he decided to came back to Kabul to make up for his fault as well as for his father when he calm down. RK helped him to find a driver and made preparations. This was a meaningful decision in his life .
