the reporter noticed that around kanye's tour audition, there were many messages from citizens with different opinions on the official website of haikou city's 12345 government service hotline. some citizens left messages saying that kanye was a bad american artist who had posted inappropriate remarks on social media and was not suitable for performing in china; some citizens left messages saying that the complaint information might be a malicious report from the fan circle and hoped that the performance would not be affected; and some citizens left messages saying that this performance was also a rare cultural and tourism opportunity for haikou. "i believe this is an unprecedented opportunity. hainan's cultural and tourism industry should seize the opportunity and do a good job of publicity. i believe it will definitely bring countless traffic and tourism economy to haikou. i hope to listen to opinions and strive to win this hard-won opportunity."
on august 27, a citizen left a message asking whether kanye's performance would be held as scheduled. the haikou municipal tourism, culture, radio, film and television and sports bureau replied that kanye's performance was true, but the performance time and content might be changed and adjusted.
kanye held concerts in shanghai and beijing in 2008. this performance in haikou is kanye's first performance in china in 16 years. this performance adopts the form of a listening session, and the specific program arrangement may be different from that of a regular concert. at present, the performance has not been listed on the ticketing platform, and the performance program arrangement has not been made public.
it is worth noting that kanye has always had a friendly attitude towards china, which may be related to his upbringing. kanye was born in atlanta in 1977. his parents divorced when he was 3 years old, and kanye followed his mother to live in chicago. in 1983, kanye's mother went to teach at nanjing university, and kanye followed his mother to nanjing and enrolled in a primary school in nanjing.
