My cousin video-called me from Vancouver last night, her face glowing with excitement. ‘I just saw the trailer for this amazing Chinese movie called Deafening!’ she said, scrolling through her Weibo feed. ‘It’s about a deaf person fighting scams – the International Deaf Awareness Day posters just dropped, and everyone’s talking about it.’
Then her smile faded. ‘But when I clicked play… that dreaded ‘content not available in your region’ message popped up. Again.’ I could hear the frustration in her voice – that particular tone overseas Chinese get when technology reminds them how far they are from home.
The movie’s posters she showed me were powerful – four hand gestures representing ‘protection,’ ‘struggle,’ ‘transaction,’ and ‘happiness.’ Director Wan Li and producer Xie Han had just shared behind-the-scenes stories at the Jinan premiere, talking about how they wanted to show both the complexity of human nature and advocate for deaf community rights.
What got me was when my cousin said, ‘You know what’s ironic? A movie about being heard… and I can’t even watch it.’ She’s been in Canada for eight years, but still follows Chinese films like they’re letters from home. Last month, it was a historical drama she missed; this month, it’s Deafening.
I remember watching the trailer myself – the scene where the main character (played by Tan Jianci) uses sign language to confront a scammer gave me chills. Audience reactions from the premiere described it as ‘eye-opening’ and ’emotionally raw.’ One viewer said it made them finally understand the daily challenges deaf people face.
My cousin laughed bitterly. ‘I feel like I’m missing part of the conversation back home. When everyone’s discussing the movie after it releases on October 4th, I’ll just be… silent.’ She’s not alone – I have friends in Australia, the UK, all complaining about the same thing. They want to support Chinese cinema, but geo-blocks keep saying no.
The movie’s message about truly ‘hearing’ others hit different when I thought about all the overseas Chinese who can’t ‘hear’ what’s happening culturally back home. Maybe that’s another kind of silence worth paying attention to.
