In this episode of Passing Through Life, we dive into Zhang Ailing’s haunting novella Red Rose, White Rose — a sharp exploration of desire, idealization, and emotional cowardice.

Join me as we unravel this quiet yet devastating story, and ask ourselves: what happens when we only love with half our hearts?
