It seems like a lifetime since it has been last seen.

The wall has been coated with brick-red,

Which has added another shade of modesty

and elegance into her temperament.

To spend one day in Yifu Library,

From morning till night,

From sunrise till sunset,

Letting time lose track of itself in books

Enjoying every precious moment with reading

Just imagine bathing in the twilight through the window of Yifu Library,

You must feel a slight tremor of anticipation slipping in.

Lights in the dusk shine in the books,

and books shine inside of you.

 

You can trace the precepts and poetic chants of the pre-Qin and the two Han dynasties,

Revisit the verses, ditties, odes and songs of Tang-Song and Yuan-Ming dynasties,

 

Listen to the bells of Notre-Dame de Paris ringing the good and evil in the human world,

And read the grotesque stories in One Hundred Years of Solitude by the hand of Macondo.

You can bring yourself back to the battlefield dispersing with smoke a thousand years ago,

Or walk in a lane in the rain that sips the worries of lilacs,

In this immaculate space,

The fragrance of Rue lingers around.

Here you can find twelve functional areas

 Including the Chinese Literature Library, Multimedia Reading Space, Lize Reading Space;

 

There is a 4K Ultra HD viewing area - a 65-inch OLED screen,

A creative commons area with professional design and graphics software accessories available,

And also a music station and a hi-fi audio-visual booth, presenting you classic works of art.

A brand new Yifu Library is awaiting your arrival

To set sail on the sea of knowledge

To take adventure up the mountain of books

Place your feet in now

Walk in the library and feel the aroma of the books

that we once shared intimacy with，

And whisper， 

Long time no see.
