Dear Reader,
The inaugural Spring 2023 print edition of 《镜》杂志, or Mirror Magazine is available at the below link in online PDF format:
After many months of hard work from the editing team, Mirror Magazine, Western Washington University’s first ever Chinese-English bilingual publication, was finally officially released May 17, 2023 in print.
Thanks to our 2023 sponsor Confucius Institute of Washington (CIWA), we were able to print about 100 copies of the Spring Edition magazine. Even though this is a groundbreaking first print, the limited number means that due to the low supply and high demand, the print copies that we can share outside of the Chinese program, some college and department figureheads, and some contributors, are very sparse. However, we remain optimistic that in the Fall, with a renewed budget, we can print more copies. To help increase the accessibility of this innovative magazine and to mitigate the issue of few print editions versus community demand, uploaded here is an electronic version of Mirror Magazine for your viewing pleasure. Additionally, web optimized digital versions of selected Spring Edition articles will be released in the coming weeks.
We are immensely grateful for our sponsor, all the contributors to this first edition, and support from faculty and students in our Chinese program and MCL department. Enjoy the e-version of Mirror Magazine!
Sincerely,
The Mirror Editing Team

尊敬的读者朋友们：
经过几个月以来全力以赴的编辑工作，2023年5月17号，西华盛顿大学的第一本中英双语刊物《镜》杂志终于正式发行了！
在华盛顿州孔子学院的资助下，我们首批刊印了100册。虽然这是具有开拓意义的创刊号，但是由于刊印数量实在有限，除了中文项目人员、部分学院和学部主管及部分撰稿人以外，纸质版很难广泛分享。当然，我们非常乐观地期待秋季新预算的到来，这样我们就可以增加刊印数量。为了方便读者阅读我们这本开创性的杂志并缓解印刷册数少与社区阅读热情高之间的矛盾，我们在这里提供电子版以飨读者。而且，近几周内我们就会将2023年春季版的部分优秀文章发表在《镜》杂志的网站上。
我们对我们的资助方、所有首期杂志的撰稿人、外文系及中文项目的学生和老师们所提供的大力支持和帮助，致以诚挚的谢意！请您欣赏电子版《镜》杂志！
顺祝编安！
