Road cicadas sing in the summer, when flowers are in bloom and summer cicadas chirp. As a senior scholar who has been in the ivory tower for many years, she has entered the post-ivory tower era involuntarily but consciously.
A few decades ago, undergraduate, master's and doctoral students were rare; now, these creatures in the ivory tower are more like a group of free-range broiler chickens in a chicken farm. After graduation, they naturally become pheasants who don't know whether they are free or fending for themselves; of course, they may also become fast food chickens that are served directly to the table. Or, it can be refined into steel and become an outstanding "golden chicken" in various industries.
