BARCELONA, Spain, July 8 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Library of Barcelona, located in Hospitalet de Llobregat, aims to introduce local Spaniards to Chinese culture, making a unique initiative in northeastern Spain.

Xuefeng Ma, a resident of Hospitalet for six years, dedicated her retirement savings to establish the library, one of the few in Spain offering a free lending service and the first of its kind in Barcelona. It took her two years to curate the library's collection, importing books directly from China.
