I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break at a local café in Toronto when I came across Zhang Shuai’s interview video. The WiFi here is usually decent, but the video kept buffering – that familiar spinning circle that every overseas Chinese knows too well.
Zhang Shuai, after eight long years, had just fought her way back to the Guangzhou Open semifinals. In the interview, her face still flushed from the intense match, she said something that hit me: ‘This was like three hours of high-intensity, anaerobic exercise. Both my opponent and I started strong from the very beginning.’
I could almost feel the humidity of Guangzhou’s tennis court through her words. She continued, ‘It’s incredibly challenging for any player, but it showed me I’m stronger than I thought.’ There was this raw honesty in her voice that made me miss watching live sports back home.
What really got me was when she talked about her next match against Li An. ‘She’s my good friend,’ Zhang said with a tired smile. ‘I just want to enjoy today’s victory. Tomorrow’s challenges? I’ll let tomorrow’s Zhang Shuai handle them.’
Sipping my now-lukewarm coffee, I remembered trying to watch her matches from abroad last year. The constant ‘This content is not available in your region’ messages, the pixelated streams that freeze at match point, that particular frustration of being physically disconnected from the sports culture you grew up with.
It’s not just about missing a tennis match. It’s about those shared moments – the collective gasp when a player makes an incredible shot, the commentator’s excited voice cracking during crucial points, even the commercials during breaks that everyone complains about but secretly enjoys.
Zhang Shuai’s journey resonates because it’s about overcoming barriers – both on the court and off. For overseas Chinese, the barrier is often technological, but the emotional connection remains strong. We want to cheer for our athletes, to be part of that collective pride, even from thousands of miles away.
Maybe that’s why her words struck such a chord. When she said ‘I saw a stronger version of myself,’ I thought about all of us trying to maintain connections across continents, finding ways to bridge the distance between where we are and where we come from.
