Are the two sentence right?
No. The first one is correct; but the second one can be corrected.
About "kind of", "kind for", please give me some examples.
When you say "It's very kind of you to give me advice on this" you are describing a characteristic of the person by using "of you." Use of "for" in this context is incorrect. The word "for" refers to what someone does, not its character. So, you could say "You are kind for giving me advice on this."
But if you say "kind of you to give me advice" you are speaking to either the present or future, but not the past.
That is an interesting puzzle.
