Until today, wars between humans still continue.War brings are death, destruction and sadness. 

There are many forms of war, but when people refer to the word "war", we always know what it means. War is not a healthy and beneficial thing, nor is it a "nutrient" conducive to the growth of civilization. Or I can simply say that war is inedible. 

I printed out the word "war" in 90 languages ​​and put them on a plate. The sound of gunfire and machine gun fire from the audio documents of World War I and World War II, as well as the sound of the September 11 incident, were played in the video. These sounds surround me, and I can only eat the "war" on the plate to make the noise of these wars disappear. 

These printing papers are not delicious. The process of consuming these sheets is very painful. I had to use a glass of water to eat them. 

People cannot eat or digest these "wars" very well, wars are never a good thing, it is something that is not conducive to civilization and personal health, it is a kind of annoying noise. And eating all the "wars" and making these noises disappear is a beautiful wish.
