I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I saw the trailer for ‘Wizard of Emerald City’ – you know, that Russian adaptation of The Wizard of Oz that’s been trending. The colors practically jumped off my phone screen: vibrant flower fields, that iconic yellow brick road, and a girl fighting a saber-toothed tiger with what looked like magical emerald energy.
My first thought? ‘I need to watch this with mom during our weekly video call.’ She’s back in Beijing, and we’ve had this tradition since I moved abroad – watching the same movie ‘together’ while on Zoom. It started during the pandemic with those cheesy holiday films, but now it’s our thing.
So I clicked the ‘Watch Now’ button, already imagining how we’d laugh at the CGI tiger together. And then… that soul-crushing message: ‘This content is not available in your region.’
You know that sound? That tiny ‘thud’ your heart makes when you realize you’re being digitally reminded that you’re an ocean away from home? I actually laughed out loud right there in the cafeteria. The guy at the next table probably thought I’d finally lost it.
It’s funny – the movie’s about a girl breaking free from her digital addiction to find real connections, and here I was, an overseas Chinese trying to connect with home through a screen, being blocked by… well, more screens.
I messaged my cousin in Shanghai: ‘Hey, can you screen-record the premiere on August 29th and send it to me?’ She replied with a crying-laughing emoji: ‘Again? This is the third movie this month! You’re turning me into your personal pirate streamer.’
The weirdest part? That trailer brought back this specific memory of watching the original Wizard of Oz as a kid in my grandmother’s apartment. The smell of her chrysanthemum tea mixing with the static electricity from the old CRT TV. Now I’m sitting in a modern coffee shop with fiber internet, unable to access a new version of the same story.
Anyway, if you’re also overseas and trying to watch ‘翡翠城巫师’ or any other Chinese content, stay tuned – I’ll be sharing some practical workarounds that have saved my weekly movie nights with mom. Because let’s be real: no region block should come between a daughter and her mother’s movie tradition.
