Husseini said, "Like all other novels, the writer's own experiences and experiences will be intertwined in the creation of novels. My brother and I live the same life in Kabul as Amir and Hassan: we spend most of our summers at school. Fly kites in winter and watch john wayne's movies in the cinema. The plot most similar to my experience in the book is the days in America, when Amir and his father tried to create a new life. Like Amir, I am an immigrant from Afghanistan. My house in wazir Akbar Khan area is very big, and we can hold a grand party there; We also went to Pagman for a picnic. I have fond memories of my childhood. This is largely because my memory is not as full of wars, mines and plagues as the current generation of Afghan children. I remember the first few years in California, living on welfare and trying to integrate into a new culture. My father and I used to work in a flea market, where many Afghans gathered for a living, some of whom were my relatives. "

The war in Afghanistan broke out in the 1970s (the Soviet Union totally invaded Afghanistan).
