A philosophical story about Mayfly
Living day and night, working hard all your life to live is short but fulfilling
"The Life of Mayfly": If you can only live for one day , what will you do?
As for mayflies, I only knew they were small insects. I had heard of them in Su Shi's "Red Cliff Ode": "Send mayflies to the sky and the earth, just a drop in the vast ocean." , is lamenting the shortness of life and the insignificance of individuals. But what exactly is an ephemera? What does it look like? How long does it survive? I really don’t understand. In the picture book "The Life of a Mayfly", I really came into contact with mayflies for the first time. Following the two little boys in the book, I learned that the life of a mayfly is equivalent to one day of a human being. It looks delicate and delicate, but its body shape reveals fragility, especially its wings, which are as thin as cicada wings. Like being torn apart. So, out of curiosity, like the little boy in the book, I went online to check its introduction.
"Mayfly, the common name is 'Yi Ye Lao', also known as 'Ye Ye Lao', which means that it died after laying eggs overnight." "Huainanzi" describes it this way: "Nibbling away without If you drink it, it will transform in twenty-two days; if you drink it but not eat it, you will shed it in thirty days; if you do not eat or drink it, the mayfly will die in three days." Li Shizhen added a divine stroke in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ephemera, Water bugs are also like... living and dying at dusk." Westerners also discovered the ephemera early. Its entomological scientific name "ephemeron" was given by Aristotle, which simply means "short". Soon, like two little boys, I discovered through the Internet that this very interesting little insect can only live for one day.
One day is so short for humans, but for small insects and mayflies, it is a lifetime! Such an insect with a tragic fate appears in a picture book for children. So, the two little boys quickly made a decision: they must do their best on this day to help little Mayfly have a fulfilling day. So, they played pirate ship games with Mayfly, watched circus performances, played racing games, and even watched a movie together... Looking at Mayfly who was getting weaker and weaker, the younger brother cried, but the older brother said: "He is not pitiful, right?" It must have been a great day for him."
The picture is surprisingly simple, with wooden box texture as the background from beginning to end. The colors and pictures are only changed according to the scene. The author Stephen Senegger reveals the life of a small insect. The perishable big topic shows readers the most meaningful and valuable life. Mayfly is presented as an anthropomorphic image in the book, and the human soul is entrusted in this small creature. Here, one day is a lifetime, which can be said to be "live and die", but you can also get a different kind of excitement. It tells children and parents this truth: "Life is like an apple, both the pulp and the core must be eaten!"
Picture books have such a magic power, and small stories often contain Great wisdom, great emotion and great philosophy, but can children understand it? Perhaps we really cannot underestimate children’s understanding and imagination, or they may simply sympathize with them but inquire deep in their hearts. Just as at the end of the book, Mayfly ended her short life, the two little boys also began to think: "If you could only live for one day, what would you do?" Will you be brave for yourself and do what you most want to do? Something you don’t dare to do? Do you still hold a grudge about people and things that you were unhappy with before, and are you still lingering on the sad experiences of the past? There may be different answers. But the unanimous sentiment is that in the remaining 24 hours, you must have a perfect explanation of your life, whether it is family, friendship or love.
From another perspective, in reality, we have countless "todays" and look forward to the next wonderful "tomorrow". For the "yesterday" that has passed, every day is a wonderful moment. Note, we should be grateful for that. In fact, in the vast universe, what is the difference between 100 years, 1 year, 1 day, and 1 hour? For the long river of history, our lives are just like mayflies, but so what? We can still realize our own value step by step in the journey of life. Because every life has its time to shine, cherish every moment you have now, and spring will bloom.
"Its gift is only one day, a sad day, a joyful day. Ah, let it live, let it dance, until the twilight bell rings, one day, that is its destiny, the dusk Flying is its paradise." This is a poem that the heroine often reads in the movie "When the Cherry Blossoms Are Blooming". A bit desolate, but beautiful, just like our quietly passing but wonderful life.

Enjoy the most glorious time in Mayfly’s life
Before leaving completely
Chapter 39

Compared to the eternity of all things, human life is just a blink of an eye.
How many people he has killed, how many wrong things he has done, whether he is a man or a woman, or neither... It no longer matters to me.
At this point, whether it is hatred or retribution, I am willing to bear it.
I am willing to bear it with him.
