59, "The Origin of the Words of the Spotted Wax Cicada Comes from the Misery"
The first acquaintance with the black armor and white grains, and then the red silk ink shell, until the change of black and white clothes.
A few sneak peeks, a few suffocations, and a few shedding.
I like to be very fond of juice in my life, save and gather, and drink green dew.
Tossing and turning new branches and old trees, circling around the scorching summer and sad autumn, according to the morning and twilight.
A shriveled aunt, a haggard and ugly woman, after many ups and downs, she became a plump and delicate slave.
How can I do it, just care about people to be the owner of the wood, refuse to be moth-eaten, and compete to kill and bully.
Hatched in a hundred days, overnight, although Su Ai pretended to be dead and rushed away, it was difficult to eliminate the real humiliation.
Capsize. Humble things, the origin of life comes from misery, living in a congregation, and the rest is terrifying.

What it means: When I first saw the spotted wax cicada, it was still a larva with white spots scattered on its black armor. When I looked at it again (after a while), it already had a red silk back, and most of its body was still jet-black (larvae). When I went to see it later (after a while), it finally changed into a beautiful patterned top and a bright red underneath. It took me several times to visit quietly, and several times when I was delayed and didn't visit, and it finally matured.
Throughout their lives, the Spotted Wax Cicada is particularly fond of sucking the sap of the stinky tree, and (it is often seen) that flocks of wax cicadas gather to suck the sap of the stinky tree. It lives on the new branches of the stinky tree, fighting against the scorching heat and sad autumn weather, and lives every day hard and satisfied.
Although the shriveled and ugly larvae of all instars have to go through many hardships and hardships before they can evolve into plump adult appearances. But now the flowers and trees on the earth are in charge of the people, and people do not allow you to absorb and decay the trees, and they are competing to kill you. It took you more than 100 days to hatch, but it didn't take long for you to fall. Even your penchant for playing dead and being good at jumping will not escape the severity of people's cruelty, so that "all the army will be wiped out".
The fate of the lowly and insignificant things has always been rough and miserable, and (believe it or not) those places where lowly creatures are gathered, there are always only terrible scenes of misery and horror.
Postscript: Spotted wax cicada, commonly known as "flower girl", "chun jump", "flower jump", "gray flower moth" and so on. It is an incomplete metamorphosis, and the body color varies greatly at different ages. The instar nymphs are black with many small white spots on them. The older nymphs have a reddish body with black and white markings on the back. The base of the hindwings of adults is red and visible when flying. It is one of the important pests on a variety of fruit trees and economic forest trees, and it is also a medicinal insect, which can be used as medicine after the insect body is dried, and is called "樗 (chū) chicken".
