They called him "flat-nosed" because of Ali and Hassan's characteristic
Hazara Mongoloid features. For years, that was all I knew about the Hazaras,
that they were Mogul descendants, and that they looked a little like Chinese
people. School text books barely mentioned them and referred to their ancestry
only in passing. Then one day, I was in Baba's study, looking through his stuff,
when I found one of my mother's old history books. It was written by an Iranian
named Khorami. I blew the dust off it, sneaked it into bed with me that night,
and was stunned to find an entire chapter on Hazara history. An entire chapter
dedicated to Hassan's people! In it, I read that my people, the Pashtuns, had
persecuted and oppressed the Hazaras. It said the Hazaras had tried to rise
against the Pashtuns in the nineteenth century, but the Pashtuns had "quelled
them with unspeakable violence." The book said that my people had killed the
Hazaras, driven them from their lands, burned their Homes, and sold their women.
The book said part of the reason Pashtuns had oppressed the Hazaras was that
Pashtuns were Sunni Muslims, while Hazaras were Shi'a. The book said a lot of
things I didn't know, things my teachers hadn't mentioned. Things Baba hadn't
mentioned either. It also said some things I did know, like that people called
Hazaras "mice-eating, flat-nosed, load-carrying donkeys". I had heard some of
the kids in the neighborhood yell those names to Hassan.
他们管他叫“塌鼻子”，因为阿里和哈桑是哈扎拉人，有典型的蒙古人种外貌。很长一段时间内，我对哈扎拉人的了解就这么多：他们是蒙古人的后裔，跟中国人稍微有些相似。学校的教材对他们语焉不详，仅仅提到过他们的祖先。有一天，我在爸爸的书房翻阅他的东西，发现有本妈妈留下的旧历史书，作者是伊朗人，叫寇拉米。我吹去蒙在书上的尘灰，那天晚上偷偷将它带上床，吃惊地发现里面关于哈扎拉人的故事竟然写了满满一章。整整一章都是关于哈扎拉人的!我从中读到自己的族人——普什图人(Pashtuns，阿富汗人口最多的民族，其语言普什图语为阿富汗国语)曾经迫害和剥削哈扎拉人。它提到19世纪时，哈扎拉人曾试图反抗普什图人，但普什图人“以罄竹难书的暴行镇压了他们”。书中说我的族人对哈扎拉人妄加杀戮，迫使他们离乡背井，烧焚他们的家园，贩售他们的女人。书中认为，普什图人压迫哈扎拉人的原因，部分是由于前者是逊尼派穆斯林，而后者是什叶派。那本书记载着很多我不知道的事情，那些事情我的老师从未提及，爸爸也缄口不谈。它还诉说着一些我已经知道的事情，比如人们管哈扎拉人叫“吃老鼠的人”、“塌鼻子”、“载货蠢驴”等。我曾听到有些邻居的小孩这么辱骂哈桑。
