Zhang Ailing's short prose notes are as follows:

The Red Rose and the White Rose was a famous short story by Zhang Ailing, which told the story of a man who lost himself in two different types of relationships. The following is an extract from the article:

"He hadn't appeared when she met him. She had waited for him for her entire life, but in the end, he still did not appear. She had written many letters to him, but he had never replied. She had done a lot for him, but he had never taken it seriously. She finally understood that his feelings for her were just a short encounter and that his feelings for her were just a fictional story."

This story was about a man who lost himself in two different types of relationships. The heroine in the story had been waiting for the male protagonist to appear, but in the end, the male protagonist did not appear. The female protagonist wrote many letters to him without the male protagonist appearing, but he never replied. The heroine finally understood that the male protagonist's feelings for her were just a short encounter and the male protagonist's feelings for her were just a fictional story. This story shows the short-lived and hypocritical nature of love and also reveals the possibility of people losing themselves in love.
