Side Dish #9 A Modern Chinese Love Story: Us and Them

A Special Lunar New Year Side Dish!  Xin Nian Kaui Le Everyone!  We hope you have a very prosperous new year!  This is a movie I’ve loved since the moment I saw it.  And it zooms in on a love story marked by the Lunar New Year.  Some love stories center on couples who are so right and yet so wrong for each other.  That’s the case for these two strangers, who become friends, who become lovers, who become strangers again. It’s on Netflix and might be an interesting way to spend your Lunar New Year, and it might even get you thinking about love, regret, forgiveness, and more.

Thanks to Beijing native Jenny for coming along this week.  Hope you’re all well!  Please write to us at Infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com or send us a direct message on Instagram @theinfatuasianpodcast Please follow us wherever you get your podcasts, and give us a rating/review at Apple Podcasts or Spotify.  Thanks for listening!
