If mirrors are gateways to a parallel world,

would you like to follow us

and take a look inside?

While autumn lingers with oranges and greens abound,

let’s walk together

and step into this “Autumn in the Mirror”.

Look, autumn surrounds the buildings of Shandong University,

a mirrored world looks back from afar,

guarding the gravitas of one hundred and twenty years.

Look, autumn rushes through the streets of Shandong University,

the mirrored world brushes past us,

telling various stories in the same time and space.

Look, autumn captures the landscapes of Shandong University,

the mirrored world appears with insouciance,

waiting for a fleeting glance over the shoulder.

The cold and heat arrived by turns, with reaping, keeping, man's concerns.

The extra days in leap years strewn.

It's yin and yang that call the tune.

Amid the steady passage of time,

we remain true to our beginnings—

like nascent sun, lighting up youthful bloom,

like autumn’s breeze, painting the hills in red,

leaving no season unnoticed, no moment overlooked.
