I was scrolling through my phone during a quick coffee break here in Toronto when I stumbled upon Sun Yingsha’s post—the one where she shared that gorgeous sunset photo with the caption ‘夕阳看了很美，下一站加油！’ (The sunset looks beautiful, next stop let’s go!). My first thought? ‘Wow, she finally got to see that sunset she wanted after winning the European Grand Slam!’ My second thought? ‘Darn it, why can’t I watch the accompanying video without it buffering every two seconds?’
You know that feeling when you’re thousands of miles away from home, and something as simple as a video of your favorite athlete celebrating a victory just… won’t load? Or it plays in pixelated fragments, like a forgotten DVD from the early 2000s? I swear, my heart did a little drop—not just because Sun Yingsha’s achievement made me proud, but because technology decided to gatekeep that joy from me.
I remember back when I first moved abroad, I’d try to watch CCTV Sports highlights with my dad over a shaky video call. He’d be in Beijing, excitedly narrating every play, while I’d stare at a frozen screen on my end, nodding along pretending I could see what he was describing. ‘Did you see that shot?’ he’d ask, and I’d reply, ‘Yeah, amazing!’ even though all I saw was a buffering icon. It became our little inside joke—but honestly, it sucked missing out on those shared moments.
Sun’s post hit different, though. Here’s this young athlete, grinding through tournaments, and her simple wish to ‘see a sunset’ after all that pressure—it’s so human. It reminded me of my own little cravings: a smooth stream of a Chinese drama episode after a long day, or catching up on variety shows without that annoying ‘This content is not available in your region’ message. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about feeling connected to the culture, the language, the everyday stuff that feels like home.
And it’s not just me. I’ve got a friend in Melbourne who tries to watch Chinese music award shows live, only to have the stream cut out during the best performances. Another pal in London spends hours searching for workarounds to binge the latest historical dramas. We all laugh about it, but deep down, it’s frustrating—like being left out of a group chat where everyone’s sharing inside jokes.
So when I saw Sun Yingsha’s sunset moment, all crisp and beautiful in her post, I felt a mix of happiness for her and that familiar tug of ‘I wish I could experience this fully too.’ It’s these small things—a athlete’s victory clip, a viral variety show moment, a trending song—that weave into the fabric of our lives overseas, making the distance feel a bit shorter. Or at least, they should.
Anyway, I ended up liking her post and sending it to my family group chat, where my cousin replied with a voice note: ‘Yeah, I saw it! Too bad the video wouldn’t load for you though.’ Classic. But it got me thinking—how many of you have similar stories? That time you missed a key moment because of geo-blocks or lag? Share in the comments, let’s commiserate (and maybe swap tips on how to actually fix this nonsense).
