According to Dazhong.com, October 16th this year is the 41st World Food Day. Recently in Shanghai, artist Yang Yexin used 500 grams of gold to create 1,000 grains of pure gold rice, and then threw them into the Huangpu River one by one. And in every corner of Shanghai, this kind of performance art is used to satirize the behavior of wasting food, awaken the people’s attention to food security, and discuss the relationship between waste and thrift, value and price, and wealth and prosperity.
“We don’t waste food, we only waste gold!” Yang Yexin said, holding up the pure gold rice in his hand. Now that China has entered a moderately prosperous society, some people have unknowingly developed the habit of wasting food. A large amount of unfinished white rice, noodles, and all kinds of food have been dumped into the trash can. China’s food waste phenomenon ranks first in the world.
Some people questioned, isn’t it a waste to throw gold in the trash can? Yang Yexin replied: “No waste. In my opinion, gold is not as valuable as rice, because rice is softer and more delicious. Gold is too hard and will knock your teeth. Now, people’s gold outside their necks is getting heavier and heavier. , And the gold in the neck is getting lighter and lighter. I hope to rebuild the gold in the Chinese people’s heart through the act of wasting gold.”
