Chapter 17 Cabourg

It was at the end of the embankment of Cabourg, near the yacht port.There is a child on the beach flying a Chinese kite, just like the one written in "Summer of the 80s".The child was motionless in that place.Other children were playing ball around him.I'm on the platform, quite a distance from that place.It's windy, it's almost dusk.The child was still motionless in that place, and it was so unbearable that it became painful and disturbing.Trying to look, search, and discover such an image, what you can see is still that he has been there without moving.The child was paralyzed in both legs and was as thin as a stick.Someone will definitely pick him up and take him away.The other children have all gone.Only the kid is still playing with his kite there.Sometimes, someone said, I was going to die, but then he continued to write the book.Before dark, someone will surely run to bring the child back.The kite fluttering in the sky pointed out his location, which was unmistakable.
