📖 I Kick and I Fly

I Kick and I Fly takes place in Bihar, Indian, and follows the story of a young, 14-year-old girl named Heera who is at risk of being sold into the sex trade by her father to pay off debts. Heera's family can't afford to buy food, meaning Heera's three siblings often go hungry, and they couldn't buy walls for the hut they lived in. To make matters worse, Heera's mother was the only parent that could actually work, since all Heera's father did was buy liquor and go gambling with their hard-earned money. School is the only place where Heera has access to meals, but there, she is bullied and made fun of for living in the red-light zone. Unfortunately, when Heera does get bullied one of these days, she fights back, breaking her bully's tooth and getting herself kicked out of school. Heera knows that her chances of getting sold into the sex trade are even higher now, especially since she can't go to school, but she refuses to give up and keeps looking for ways to get back into school. Finally, she decides to approach the hostel owner, called Rini Di, to get her back into school and teach her kung fu. Rini Di takes pity on her, and manages to convince her parents to let her learn kung fu and get back into school. Her father, unfortunately, is not so easily convinced, but after Rini Di gets their family funds to afford food and shelter, he lets Heera go. Grateful for her parents' permission, Heera decides to try her best in both school and kung fu. She had never been the best at school, but she studies harder than she ever did and practices kung fu constantly. Through hard work and dedication, Heera digs herself out of the pit that fate had thrown her in. I Kick and I Fly is an inspiring story about how one can escape their fate through enough work. Even though many of the women around Heera try to convince her that she can't escape being sold into the sex trade like many of her friends, she still tries. For its hopefulness and realism, I recommend I Kick and I Fly as a heartwarming book full of diligence.

《我踢,我飞》(I Kick and I Fly)的故事发生在印度比哈尔邦,讲述了一个名叫希拉(Heera)的14岁少女的故事。由于父亲为了偿还债务,希拉面临着被卖入性交易行业的危险。希拉的家庭连买食物的钱都负担不起,这意味着她的三个兄弟姐妹经常挨饿,他们甚至没钱给居住的小棚屋修建围墙。更糟糕的是,希拉的母亲是家里唯一能工作的家长,因为她的父亲只会用她们辛苦赚来的钱去买酒和赌博。 学校是希拉唯一能吃上饭的地方,但在那里,她因为住在红灯区而饱受欺凌和嘲笑。不幸的是,在又一次遭到欺凌的日子里,希拉选择了反击,她打掉了欺凌者的牙齿,结果被学校开除。希拉知道,既然自己无法上学,她被卖入性交易行业的可能性现在变得更高了,但她拒绝放弃,并不断寻找重返校园的方法。最终,她决定去找收留所的负责人里尼·迪(Rini Di),希望对方能帮她重返校园并教她习练功夫。 里尼·迪同情她的遭遇,并设法说服了她的父母,允许她学习功夫和重返校园。不幸的是,她的父亲并没有那么容易被说服,但在里尼·迪为她的家庭争取到能够负担食物和住所的资金后,父亲才放希拉离开。希拉对父母的应允心存感激,决定在学业和功夫上都竭尽全力。她以前在学校里成绩并不是最好的,但她付出了前所未有的努力去学习,并且不断地练习功夫。通过勤奋与奉献,希拉将自己从命运抛下的深渊中拯救了出来。 《我踢,我飞》是一个令人振奋的故事,讲述了一个人如何通过足够的努力来逃离命运的枷锁。尽管希拉身边的许多女性都试图劝说她,告诉她无法像她的许多朋友那样逃脱被贩卖的命运,但她依然在坚持尝试。因其充满希望的主旋律与现实主义色彩,我推荐《我踢,我飞》作为一本充满勤奋、令人心头一暖的佳作。
