I was scrolling through Weibo on my couch in Sydney when the notification popped up – Sui Wenjing and Han Cong were back on competitive ice after three years. My hands actually trembled as I clicked the CCTV Sports video, only to see that dreaded buffering circle spin… and spin… and spin.
Remember their 2022 Olympic gold medal performance? That moment when Han Cong lifted Sui Wenjing in that breathtaking twist, her landing so perfect it seemed to defy physics? I watched it with my Chinese student group in Melbourne, all of us screaming so loud the neighbors knocked on our door. Now here I was, alone in my apartment, fighting with unreliable streams just to witness their comeback.
When the video finally loaded in pixelated fragments, I saw it – that familiar determination in their eyes, the way Sui’s dress caught the arena lights like scattered stardust. They scored 72.45 points in the short program, not their personal best, but something more precious: a testament to resilience.
My friend in Vancouver texted me mid-stream: ‘Are you watching? My stream keeps freezing right before their lifts!’ We exchanged five different links within ten minutes, each more unreliable than the last. It’s funny – technology was supposed to bring us closer to home, yet here we were, overseas Chinese scattered across different time zones, united by both pride and frustration.
The most heartbreaking moment came when the camera zoomed in on Sui’s face after their final pose. There were tears in her eyes – not the dramatic kind for cameras, but the quiet, trembling kind that comes from three years of waiting. My stream chose that exact moment to buffer again, freezing on her emotional expression like a photograph I wasn’t meant to see.
Here’s the thing about watching Chinese sports from abroad – it’s not just about the competition. It’s about that lump in your throat when you hear the national anthem, the way you instinctively want to message your family back home, the strange comfort of hearing Chinese commentators’ familiar voices in an unfamiliar time zone.
When I finally watched the complete performance (thanks to a friend who screen-recorded it), I noticed something new in their skating – a maturity that only time away could bring. Their edges were deeper, their connection more profound. It made me think about all the other overseas Chinese missing these moments because of geo-blocks and laggy streams.
So to all my fellow overseas Chinese trying to watch our favorite shows, sports events, and movies from back home – I feel you. That frustration when your drama buffers at the climax, when the music you grew up with says ‘not available in your region,’ when you miss historic moments like Sui and Han’s comeback because technology decided to fail you today.
