Let's popularize a cold knowledge: the movie “The Kite Runner” with Afghanistan as the background is actually filmed in Kashgar, Xinjiang.
At the time of shooting this film, the war was raging in Afghanistan, so Paramount Pictures had to come to Kashgar to take pictures. In the film, we saw a peaceful picture: messy but not disobedient streets, scattered mud houses, stone city under the shadow of snow mountains, children running at the street corner, and mountains of colorful fruits on both sides of the road.
Kabul and Kashgar have great similarities in geography, race and environment, but Afghanistan with its geographical location in the gap of the big country game has had itself trampled by the Soviet Union and the United States, while the people live and work in peace and contentment in China’s Xinjiang. Such a contrast is really strong.
A film made by Americans, but because of the war in Afghanistan launched in 2001, they could only choose to shoot this film in Kashgar, Xinjiang in 2007. On the one hand, Americans slander Xinjiang and make a mess of Afghanistan. It's ironic that even the film has to be shot in Xinjiang. When the people of Kashgar drink tea and eat meat, the people of Afghanistan are suffering great trauma. They become refugees to avoid the war. Their wives and children are separated and miserable. Perhaps this is what we should see from the continuing war in Afghanistan.
I saw some people say that China had a high-profile meeting with Taliban leaders. But in fact, in early July before that, when the United States decided to withdraw its troops and the Taliban claimed to occupy 85% of the territory, the world had seen that the defeat of Afghan government forces had been doomed, and even Russia had begun to contact the Taliban. China first had a telephone conversation with the president of the Afghan government to clarify the vision of peace and stability.
After that, the United States withdrew its troops, leaving a mess, and the Chinese foreign ministry held a meeting with the Taliban.
Living in the frontier since childhood, we know the value of peace and stability. No matter what forces become in power in Afghanistan, only a long-term stable Afghanistan is really beneficial to the local people and China's border areas.
