When I saw this 13-year-old girl breaking records, I suddenly remembered my own childhood dreams

I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break yesterday when I stumbled upon a video that stopped me mid-bite – this tiny 13-year-old girl named Yu Zidi had just won two gold medals at the National Games, becoming the youngest champion in history.

When I saw this 13-year-old girl breaking records, I suddenly remembered my own childhood dreams

The way she looked at the camera, her wet hair plastered to her forehead and that mix of exhaustion and pure joy in her eyes – it reminded me so much of watching my little cousin after her first swimming competition years ago. She’d emerged from the pool shivering, but with this enormous grin that could light up the entire stadium.

What really got me was when Yu reached out to her idol Ye Shiwen. Her questions were so innocent yet profound: ‘Sister, how do I improve my breaststroke kick efficiency?’ and ‘What does it feel like to stand on the Olympic podium?’

I could almost hear the nervous tremor in her voice – that same shaky excitement I felt when I met my own childhood hero at a book signing years ago. My hands were so sweaty I nearly dropped the book, and all I could manage was a choked ‘thank you’ before stumbling away.

Ye Shiwen’s response was pure gold. She didn’t just give technical advice – she spoke about mindset, about filtering out the noise, about staying focused on your goals. ‘There will inevitably be voices entering your mind,’ she said, and damn if that didn’t hit home.

It made me think about all the ‘voices’ we deal with daily – the doubts, the criticisms, the endless notifications. And speaking of voices, this is where it gets personal for us overseas folks.

You know that frustration when you’re trying to watch inspiring stories like this from abroad, and suddenly you hit that ‘content not available in your region’ wall? Or when the video buffers every five seconds during the most emotional moment?

Last week, I was trying to show my daughter this exact video – wanted her to see what determination looks like – and we spent twenty minutes fighting with loading circles instead. She eventually lost interest and went back to YouTube, and I was left staring at a frozen screen, feeling that particular blend of technological helplessness and cultural disconnect that only us overseas Chinese truly understand.

But here’s the thing – just like young Yu pushing through her races and Ye overcoming Olympic pressure, we find ways around these barriers. Because stories like this deserve to be seen, these moments of human triumph shouldn’t be blocked by digital borders.
