About the video Inextinguishable FireI (1999) by Harun Farocki, It is hard to imagine or bear to imagine, the pictures of napalm victims mentioned in the video. 400 degrees of cigarettes can burn scars, let alone 3000 degrees of napalm, and these napalm when burning will release toxic gas will seriously damage the human body. Subsequent videos show that the Napalm in Napalm is a chemical that has multiple uses and is not just a weapon in warfare. It’s not just Napalm, it’s other chemicals, we can’t define it, it depends on the user. The effects of these products also affect producers, who are seen by many as accomplices or bystanders. It has to be said that war is terrible, whether it is chemical chemical weapons or biological bacteria or viruses, they are terrible, they hurt those innocent people and their interests. The video also reveals the inextricable links between media culture, politics, technology and violence, which I find inescapable, but which are even scarier for those who exploit them for profit and harm innocent lives.

Thinking in System – The System Lens is interesting and allows me to understand the relationship between structure and behavior, to understand how systems work, what makes them produce poor results, and how to transform them into better behavior patterns. The book describes how we can view people as complex systems that involve rational thinking to view problems and interconnections within the system. Then take society as a system and consider the chaotic social problems in the complex system. This is similar to the idea of chaos theory, the theme of my works, which treats life from the perspective of systems and explains contents and problems.
