I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I saw my cousin’s repost about the 15th National Games logo release. The notification popped up at exactly 12:34 PM – I remember because I’d just taken my first bite of a cold turkey sandwich that tasted exactly like disappointment.
The logo design actually looks pretty cool – that blend of three colors representing Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, forming the characters for ‘National Games.’ My cousin had captioned it with ‘So proud of our hometown!’ and three heart emojis. I could almost hear her excitement through the screen.
But here’s where it got frustrating – I clicked the video link from CCTV Sports, and that familiar spinning wheel appeared. ‘Video unavailable in your region.’ Again. My sandwich suddenly tasted even worse.
This happens way too often. Last month, I tried watching that new historical drama everyone was raving about – same story. Last week, my mom sent me a link to a Chinese variety show she thought I’d love – spinning wheel of doom. It’s like being stuck outside a candy store with your nose pressed against the glass.
What makes it worse is the timing. The 15th National Games in 2025 will be the first time Hong Kong and Macao co-host with Guangdong. As someone who grew up between Guangzhou and Vancouver, this feels personally significant. That ‘river-like flow’ they designed into the ‘2025’ part of the logo? It represents the Pearl River that flows through all three regions – the same river I used to walk along with my grandparents.
I ended up screenshotting the logo and zooming in, trying to appreciate the gold accents against that blue-green background they described. It’s beautiful, really. But it’s not the same as watching the official video, hearing the commentary, feeling that connection to home.
My cousin later video-called me, her face glowing as she described how the logo reveal was trending everywhere. ‘You should have seen the full video!’ she said, completely unaware that I couldn’t. I just nodded and smiled, not wanting to ruin her excitement.
It’s these moments that hit hardest when you’re living abroad. Not the big holidays or family gatherings you expect to miss, but the spontaneous cultural moments that pop up on your feed – the drama episodes everyone’s discussing at breakfast, the viral variety show clips, the sports events that unite the whole country.
So yeah, that’s my little rant about discovering the National Games logo while dealing with regional blocks. Anyone else overseas constantly facing this ‘content FOMO’? That fear of missing out on the cultural moments happening back home because of streaming restrictions?
