When I saw the Olympic champion’s cat video, I realized why overseas Chinese can’t watch domestic shows smoothly

I was scrolling through my feed yesterday when I stumbled upon this adorable video of Olympic diving champion Yang Hao and his ragdoll cat Furry. The way he talked about his pet while sitting in that spacious car – all gentle and soft-spoken – it reminded me of video calls with my cousin back in Shanghai.

You know what’s funny? My cousin was trying to show me this exact video through WeChat, but the connection kept buffering. ‘Can you see it properly?’ she kept asking, while I stared at my frozen screen showing only half of Yang Hao’s face and a pixelated cat ear. It’s these moments that make living abroad feel particularly distant.

The champion mentioned how the car’s smooth ride kept his cat comfortable during travel. That got me thinking about how we overseas folks just want that same ‘smooth ride’ when trying to watch our favorite Chinese shows. Remember trying to watch that new historical drama everyone’s talking about? The spinning loading circle becomes your new screensaver.

Last week, my friend in Toronto spent three hours trying to watch a variety show featuring her favorite idol. She finally gave up and asked her mom in Beijing to record it and send clips through WeTransfer. ‘Mom became my personal streaming service,’ she laughed, but I could hear the frustration in her voice.

There’s something particularly nostalgic about wanting to watch the content everyone back home is discussing. That shared cultural experience – whether it’s the latest talent show or a trending period drama – becomes this invisible thread connecting us across oceans. When that thread keeps breaking due to technical issues, it stings more than just missing entertainment.

Maybe you’ve experienced this too – finally finding time to relax after work, making some tea, settling into your couch ready to binge-watch, only to be greeted by the dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message. That disappointment hits different when you’re thousands of miles away from home.

Watching Yang Hao’s seamless journey with his cat in that perfectly accommodating car made me wish our digital journeys could be just as smooth. The way he talked about creating comfort for his pet – isn’t that what we’re all looking for? Just a comfortable, uninterrupted connection to the stories and entertainment that feel like home.
