I was folding laundry in my basement here in Vancouver when my phone buzzed with a Weibo notification about Jackie Chan’s new movie ‘Catching the Shadows.’ There he was – our legendary Jackie – looking intense in what appeared to be a laundry room fight scene. The caption mentioned something about someone trapped in a washing machine (only Jackie could make laundry dangerous), and I immediately needed to see this.
You know that excitement when you discover new content from back home? I clicked the video link so fast I almost knocked over my laundry basket. And then… the dreaded buffering circle. Then the message: ‘This content is not available in your region.’
My heart actually sank. It’s this specific feeling of disconnect that every overseas Chinese knows too well – you’re physically holding this device that can connect you to anywhere in the world, but somehow you can’t access content from your own country.
I could almost smell the popcorn from those cinema trips back in Beijing, the sound of Mandarin dialogue filling the theater. Now here I am, staring at a loading screen in my laundry room, halfway across the world.
It’s not just about Jackie Chan movies either. Last week, my daughter wanted to watch that new historical drama everyone’s talking about, and we hit the same wall. My mom tried to video call to show me her favorite singing competition, but the stream kept freezing every few seconds.
There’s this particular frustration when technology makes the world feel smaller except for the things that actually matter to you. I remember watching Jackie Chan movies with my cousins during summer breaks, all of us trying to mimic his moves (and failing spectacularly). Now I can’t even watch his latest film without jumping through hoops.
Maybe it’s silly to get emotional about a movie trailer, but it’s not really about the movie, is it? It’s about those little threads that connect us to home, to culture, to the familiar rhythms of Mandarin entertainment that feel like comfort food for the soul.
So here I am, still thinking about that laundry room fight scene I never got to see. If you’re overseas and managed to watch it somehow… no spoilers please! But do tell me – was it as gloriously ridiculous as it sounds? And more importantly, how did you get it to work?
