My cousin in Vancouver sent me a Weibo link yesterday with the message: ‘Wish I could hear this properly.’ It was about that new 120th Chinese film anniversary song ‘Never-Fading Stars’ – you know, the one with Jackie Chan and all those actors singing together.
The video kept buffering every few seconds for her, like that frustrating moment when your favorite drama cuts out right during the climax scene. She said it felt like watching fireworks through a foggy window – you can sort of see the colors, but miss all the sparkle.
Remember when we were kids visiting relatives in China during summer breaks? We’d crowd around the TV watching those period dramas, the air conditioner humming while we passed around sliced watermelon. Now my cousin’s daughter asks her about Chinese movies, and she has to describe them like telling fairy tales – ‘There was this actor named Jackie Chan who could fight while climbing buildings…’
The irony hit me – this anniversary song is literally about keeping Chinese cinema’s legacy alive across generations, yet so many of us overseas can’t even stream it properly. It’s like having family recipes you can’t quite recreate because you’re missing that one special ingredient from home.
My aunt in Melbourne actually learned to use VPNs just to watch her favorite cooking shows from China. She says the three-second delay when streaming makes her feel like she’s always a step behind everyone else’s conversations about the latest episodes.
What gets me is that these geo-restrictions don’t just block entertainment – they slowly erase those cultural touchpoints that make us feel connected. That moment when everyone back home is quoting the same viral variety show moment, and you’re just nodding along pretending you get the reference.
So when my cousin finally managed to hear the song after multiple attempts, she texted me: ‘Hearing Jackie Chan’s voice after all these years made me tear up – not because of the song itself, but because it felt like hearing an uncle’s voice after too long apart.’
Anyone else abroad ever feel this way? That moment when you realize you’re missing more than just shows – you’re missing pieces of the cultural conversation? Share your stories below – I’m genuinely curious how many of us are in this same boat.
