I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I saw the news about Yan Wengang winning the gold medal in skeleton racing at the Lillehammer European Cup. The video from CCTV Sports showed him sliding down that icy track, and for a moment, I was transported back to my college days in Beijing.
You know that feeling when you’re watching something and suddenly a memory hits you? The way Yan navigated those curves reminded me of how we used to race down the hills near our campus after snowfall, using cafeteria trays as makeshift sleds. We’d scream and laugh until our throats were raw, completely unaware that years later, some of us would be scattered across different continents.
But here’s the thing – just as Yan was hitting that perfect slide, my video started buffering. That familiar spinning circle appeared, and I knew exactly what was happening. Again. The regional restrictions had kicked in, cutting me off from properly celebrating this Chinese athlete’s achievement.
It’s funny how these moments work. I could almost taste the hot chocolate we used to drink after those snowy adventures – the cheap instant kind that came in orange packets. And now here I am, sipping Tim Hortons coffee while trying to watch a Chinese athlete make history, only to be reminded that I’m thousands of miles away from home.
Yan’s victory in Norway made me think about all the other overseas Chinese who probably experienced the same frustration today. The students in Australia waking up to this news, the working professionals in Europe trying to share this moment with their families back home, all of us connected by this shared pride and this shared technological barrier.
Maybe it’s silly to get emotional about a buffering video, but it’s more than that. It’s about missing those moments of collective celebration, the kind where everyone in China is watching the same broadcast and feeling the same national pride. We overseas Chinese want to be part of that too, even if we’re watching from different time zones.
So to all my fellow overseas Chinese who tried to watch Yan Wengang’s golden moment today and faced the same spinning wheel of frustration – I see you. I feel that same mix of pride and technological annoyance. But hey, at least we can still read the articles and imagine how smooth that winning slide must have looked without any interruptions.
