"Mayfly"

I got the beautiful piece named《蜉蝣》 (Mayfly) by my friend Youyue (幽月) today, and it is really warm, peaceful and poetic. It's exactly two weeks after Youyue said he's going to compose for my graduation recital.
People say the mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, and this is Youyue's imagination of how their lifetime is like in one day.

Quote from Youyue:
“恩其实怎么说呢，不只是蜉蝣，很多昆虫的生命都很短，无声地来无声地走，体会到自己动作越来越慢，最后找到一处不起眼的落脚点，可能是树枝，可能是岩石缝，也可能是个洞，然后自然地静止，死去，离开世界，这曲子想描绘的是这一种无法用语言表述的"平淡"，不用像人类一样寻找所谓活着的意义，不用欺骗自己和外界，只是接受自然和生命本身，平静，伟大，也让人有点心酸。”

​11-1 Inspiration
When every function of basic living you've taken for granted has gone gradually, with weaker heartbeat and breath, slower walking pace, and less appetite, you can still keep enjoying the journey of life without complaining, and appreciate life.
After you have witnessed death, you will start to think how to live.
(Miss Mi.)

《蜉蝣》感悟：
当你体会着生命中功能的理所应当都渐渐离你远去，减弱的心跳和呼吸，渐缓的步伐，消退的食欲，你却依然不抱怨地走完生命的旅程，完成生命的意义。
当你见证过死亡，你会去思考生存。
念米。
