Preface
In recent years, with the acceleration of the globalization process, cultural exchanges between countries have become more and more frequent, and people have come into contact with and understood the cultures of different countries through various ways, which undoubtedly provides an important opportunity for promoting mutual understanding and friendly exchanges between countries in the world. Some extreme cultural phenomena also occur from time to time, and extreme speech and behavior are amplified through cultural communication channels, which has brought a certain negative impact on inter-state relations and social stability.
Recently, an incident about cultural exchanges and cultural bottom lines has caused heated public discussions, and the famous rapper Big Gee has caused controversy because of his ultra-nationalist and anti-Chinese ideology in cultural exchanges, and the news that he will hold a concert in China has been widely opposed and boycotted, and the concert was finally stopped. The occurrence of this incident not only makes people have more conjectures about the bottom line in cultural exchanges, but also highlights the important role of public supervision and public opinion guidance.
Event recap
Big Gee, a famous rapper from Outer Mongolia, was born in a poor family, suffered from violence since childhood, and developed extreme nationalist ideas in the process. In recent years, he has become an instant hit with a song called "Huza", the popularity of this song does not come from the music itself, but because the lyrics are full of extreme anti-Chinese remarks, which directly insult the people of the eastern countries, and the MV he launched is full of extremely violent images, which has aroused widespread controversy and condemnation.
Big Gee's extreme remarks and behaviors undoubtedly touched the national feelings of the people of the big eastern countries, and also seriously challenged the stance and bottom line of the authorities of the big eastern countries on cultural exchanges. As a big country with a long history and splendid culture, the big country in the East has always attached great importance to the inheritance and exchange of culture, and the cultural expression of Big Gee, which is obviously tendentious and extremist, is undoubtedly a provocation and harm to the culture of the big country in the East, and also violates the original intention that cultural exchanges should convey friendship and equal understanding.
In the face of strong public resistance, Big Gee's concert was finally canceled by the organizers, although the organizers claimed that the cancellation of the performance was due to "schedule reasons", the facts are obvious, this result is inseparable from the active participation and resistance of the majority of netizens and the public, and it is also a powerful response to Big Gee's extreme remarks.
Where is cultural exchange headed?
The occurrence of this incident has undoubtedly raised an important conjecture for people about cultural exchange and cultural transmission, that is, where should cultural exchange go in today's world? How can we establish a bottom line in cultural exchanges, avoid the spread of extremist ideas and speeches, and make cultural exchanges truly a link for world peace and development?
From this incident, it can be seen that it is very important to establish the bottom line of cultural exchanges, and we should not adopt an open and inclusive attitude towards all cultural phenomena because of the so-called "cultural freedom of expression", especially when it comes to extreme speech and behavior, and it is necessary to examine and conjecture them in depth. The Big Gee incident is a good example, his extreme remarks are not simply "personal opinions", but obviously tendentious and provocative, such remarks do not help to promote friendly exchanges between countries, but will have a negative impact on cultural exchanges and relations between the two countries, and the public boycotts and opposes them, but also to safeguard the bottom line of cultural exchanges and national interests.
Cultural exchange needs to transmit positive energy, which does not mean blindly "beautifying" and "packaging", but through the spread and exchange of culture, so that people can better understand each other, enhance mutual understanding and cognition, so as to form a peaceful and inclusive international community atmosphere. As a disseminator of culture, artists should have a certain sense of responsibility and mission when participating in cultural exchanges, and should not use extreme remarks and behaviors to hype, but should choose those works that can truly convey friendly feelings and positive values, inject positive energy into cultural exchanges, and promote spiritual and emotional exchanges between people of all countries.
This incident also reminds us that we should maintain sensitivity and vigilance to the cultural market, and when encountering similar extreme cultural phenomena, the public needs to have their own judgment and position, actively participate in the supervision and guidance of public opinion, and jointly maintain a good cultural ecological environment. Relevant departments and cultural institutions also need to strengthen the review and guidance of cultural works and artists, not because of commercial interests, but to choose those works and activities that are truly conducive to promoting cultural exchanges and national image, guiding the public to form correct cultural values and cognition, and jointly building a harmonious and beautiful cultural world.
epilogue

It is hoped that through such an event, more people's attention and conjectures about cultural exchanges can be aroused, so that cultural exchanges can become a bridge connecting the hearts of people from all countries, and make positive contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
