I was making coffee in my tiny Brooklyn kitchen when my cousin’s WeChat message popped up – a blurry screen recording of some shooting competition with the caption ‘Look! They’re breaking world records!’ The video kept buffering every three seconds, and I could barely make out what was happening. It reminded me of last month when I tried to watch that new Chinese drama everyone was raving about, only to get the dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message.
Turns out my cousin was watching the 15th National Games shooting competitions, where Chinese athletes apparently smashed five world records across different events. According to the official report, eleven different teams won gold medals in the sixteen events – which is pretty insane when you think about it. The video showed these incredibly focused young athletes, their hands steady as rocks while the rest of us can’t even hold our phones still for a decent selfie.
What got me was Du Li, the national pistol shooting team leader, talking about these ‘new forces’ emerging in the sport. She said finding these talented young shooters was the easy part – the real challenge is figuring out how to develop them properly for the Los Angeles Olympics. It made me think about all the talent we’re probably missing overseas because we can’t properly access these sports events or cultural programs.
Last week, my aunt sent me another video – this time of some singing competition her daughter was obsessed with. Same story: thirty seconds of choppy playback followed by eternal loading. It’s like being stuck outside a window, watching everyone inside having fun at a party you can’t join. And it’s not just entertainment – it’s missing out on these incredible national moments that make you feel connected to home.
The weirdest part? My cousin back in Shanghai can stream everything perfectly fine while eating hot pot and scrolling through Douyin. Meanwhile, I’m here with my supposedly ‘premium’ internet connection, watching pixelated versions of China’s biggest sports achievements. It’s like we’re living in parallel universes – same language, same cultural references, but completely different access to content.
Anyway, seeing those young shooters break world records made me realize how much we’re missing living abroad. Not just the sports events, but all the movies, TV shows, and music that define contemporary Chinese culture. It’s frustrating when you just want to feel connected to home, you know?
