I was scrolling through my phone at a café in Toronto yesterday when a friend from back home sent me that viral video of Sun Yingsha training for the National Games. You know the one – where usually cute and bubbly Sun turns into this fierce competitor during practice, her forehand attacks so intense you can almost feel the sweat through the screen.
My finger hovered over the play button, but all I got was that dreaded spinning wheel. Then the message popped up: ‘This content is not available in your region.’ I actually groaned out loud – the guy at the next table gave me this weird look, probably wondering why someone would get emotional over a loading screen.
It reminded me of last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, when my family group chat was blowing up about some reality show special. My cousin sent like twenty clips, and I could only watch two before everything started buffering. My aunt even called to ask why I wasn’t reacting to her favorite singer’s performance – ‘It’s like you’re living on another planet!’ she said. Honestly, in that moment, it really felt like I was.
What gets me is how these restrictions hit hardest during precisely those moments when you’re already feeling homesick. When Sun Yingsha makes that incredible shot, or when your favorite drama has its big reveal episode – that’s when you want to be part of the conversation back home. Instead, you’re stuck refreshing the page, watching comments pour in from friends in China while you’re still waiting for the video to load.
I’ve talked to so many overseas Chinese friends about this. My friend Lisa in Australia said she missed the entire live broadcast of last year’s table tennis championships because of streaming issues. ‘I ended up watching grainy replays on some sketchy website,’ she told me, ‘and the quality was so bad I couldn’t even see the ball properly.’
There’s something particularly frustrating about sports content too. Unlike movies or TV shows where you can wait, sports moments are immediate. That incredible point Sun Yingsha just scored? By the time you find a working stream, the match might be over, and the magic of that live moment is gone forever.
Anyway, I eventually got to watch Sun’s training video through a friend who screen-recorded it for me. Seeing her transform from the smiling athlete we usually see to this focused, determined competitor was worth the wait. But it shouldn’t have to be this difficult, you know? Have you ever faced this kind of frustration trying to watch content from back home while living abroad?
