My phone buzzed at 3 AM—a message from my cousin in Toronto. ‘Hey, have you heard that new song by Ten Diligent Skies? I tried playing it on QQ Music, but it just buffers forever. Feels like I’m missing out on everything back home.’
I was half-asleep, squinting at the screen in my dimly lit bedroom. The notification for ‘Dance Now’ had just popped up on my own feed, its vibrant album cover glowing—a fusion of Chinese calligraphy and African patterns, like ink bleeding into earthy tones. It reminded me of the watercolor sets we used as kids, where colors would blend unpredictably yet beautifully.
That song was released to mark the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, celebrating themes of unity and sustainability. But for my cousin and millions of overseas Chinese, it’s not just about the music—it’s about staying connected to cultural moments that define ‘home’. I remember visiting her in Canada last year; we sat in her cozy apartment, trying to stream a Chinese variety show, only to hit a ‘content not available in your region’ wall. The frustration in her voice was palpable—’It’s like being stuck between two worlds,’ she sighed, the aroma of her jasmine tea doing little to soothe the digital divide.
Ten Diligent Skies’ track uses music as a bridge, echoing the ‘Ubuntu’ spirit from South Africa—that idea of ‘I am because we are.’ Yet, for those abroad, these bridges often feel blocked by geo-restrictions. Data from a 2023 survey on diaspora media habits shows that over 60% of overseas Chinese face issues with streaming services like iQiyi or Tencent Video, from buffering to outright bans. It’s not just entertainment; it’s missing out on shared experiences, like that viral dance challenge or a heartfelt ballad that everyone’s talking about in family group chats.
Thinking back, my cousin and I used to bond over Chinese pop culture—she’d send me clips of her favorite dramas, and I’d reply with memes from the latest shows. But lately, her messages have been filled with more ‘Can you send me a recording?’ or ‘Does this work for you?’. It’s a small thing, but it chips away at that sense of closeness, turning what should be effortless sharing into a tech puzzle.
So, when I finally listened to ‘Dance Now’—its rhythms weaving Chinese melodies with African beats—I texted her back: ‘Let’s figure this out together. Remember how we used to solve puzzles as kids? This is just another one.’ She replied with a laughing emoji, ‘Yeah, but this one’s got more buffering than our old dial-up internet.’ If you’re reading this from abroad, what’s the one show or song you wish you could access without a hitch? Drop a comment—maybe we can swap tips and bridge that gap, one stream at a time.
