I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I saw it: Zhang Xincheng’s "不适应症" (Disadaptation) concert announcement. The preview video showed him singing under moody lighting, and I immediately clicked—only to be greeted by that dreaded spinning wheel of death.
You know the one. It spins and spins while your excitement slowly deflates. After three attempts, the video finally played in 144p quality, looking like it was filmed through a snowstorm. I could barely recognize Zhang’s face, let alone enjoy his performance.
This isn’t just about missing a concert. It’s about those little moments of connection we overseas fans crave. That limited-edition gift box? I could see the preview images loading pixel by pixel, each taking about 30 seconds to appear. By the time I saw the full design, my lunch break was over.
I remember calling my cousin in Shanghai later that day. ‘Did you see Zhang Xincheng’s new concert?’ I asked. She replied, ‘Yeah, watched it during my subway ride home. The production value was amazing!’ Meanwhile, I was still trying to get past the geo-block message that kept popping up.
It’s these small cultural moments that hit hardest. That limited-time merch drop that ends before you even get to see it properly. The concert discussions happening in real-time while you’re still waiting for videos to buffer. The FOMO is real when you’re watching from thousands of miles away.
The worst part? This happens with everything—not just concerts. New drama episodes that won’t load, variety shows that buffer every 10 seconds, music that cuts out right at the chorus. It’s like being stuck behind a glass wall, watching the party happen without you.
But here’s what keeps me going: that determination to participate anyway. That stubborn refusal to miss out on the artists and content we love. There’s something uniquely frustrating—yet also bonding—about being an overseas fan constantly fighting technology to stay connected to home culture.
So to all my fellow overseas fans who’ve experienced the spinning wheel of despair: I see you. I feel your pain. And I know that look of disappointment when yet another ‘This content is not available in your region’ message appears. We might be miles away, but our fandom knows no borders—even if our internet connections sometimes do.
