I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break at a Sydney café when I saw the announcement – the new Boonie Bears soundtrack had just dropped. My first instinct was to click play, but all I got was that dreaded red text: ‘This content is not available in your region.’ The flat white suddenly tasted more bitter than usual.
See, Boonie Bears isn’t just another cartoon for me. I remember watching it with my cousin back in Fujian during summer vacations, the floor fan whirring while we shared a bowl of lychees. There’s something about those familiar theme songs that instantly transports me back to my grandmother’s living room, the smell of jasmine tea and the sound of cicadas mixing with Bear Two’s goofy laughter.
The new album promises songs like ‘Our Treasure’ and ‘Let’s Not Fight’ – titles that already evoke that warm, fuzzy feeling of childhood friendships. According to QQ Music data, the original Boonie Bears soundtracks have been played over 800 million times globally. Yet here I am, an overseas Chinese who grew up with these characters, legally blocked from accessing the very culture that shaped my childhood.
It’s not just about missing out on blind box giveaways or limited edition badges (though my inner child definitely wants that Bear Two merch). Last Mid-Autumn Festival, my niece in Shanghai video-called me singing the Boonie Bears theme song she’d just learned, and I couldn’t even join in properly because I hadn’t heard the latest season’s music. That distance felt heavier than the 8,000 kilometers between us.
Maybe I’m being sentimental, but when you’re living abroad, these cultural touchstones become emotional anchors. The new storyline about magical treasures arriving in the forest sounds exactly like the comfort content I need after a long work week – the animated equivalent of my mother’s pork bone soup.
So here I am, staring at my screen while my VPN struggles to connect, wondering how many other overseas Chinese are missing these moments that should rightfully be part of our shared cultural memory. What childhood memories are you locked out of because of these digital borders?
