I was scrolling through my phone at 3 AM in my tiny apartment in Toronto when the notification popped up – Sui Wenjing and Han Cong had just skated their free program at the China Cup. My heart literally skipped a beat, you know that feeling when you see something from home while you’re thousands of miles away?
I clicked the CCTV Sports video link so fast I almost dropped my phone. And then… the dreaded spinning wheel of death. ‘Video unavailable in your region.’ Ugh. That sinking feeling hit me like a ton of bricks – another piece of home I couldn’t reach.
I ended up watching a blurry, pixelated version someone had uploaded on YouTube. Even through the terrible quality, I could see their ‘Only This Green’ program was magical. The way they moved together – it reminded me of watching figure skating competitions with my grandma back in Beijing, sharing a bowl of sunflower seeds while she’d point out all the technical details.
The comments section broke my heart a little. People were posting about their 130.47 free skate score, their total of 202.92 points, how their lifts seemed to defy gravity. I could almost hear the music, picture the arena, feel that collective breath-holding when they landed jumps. And here I was, staring at a buffering screen.
It’s funny – when I was in China, I took for granted being able to watch these moments live. Now, every time there’s a major sports event or a new drama release back home, it’s like this little reminder that I’m on the outside looking in. My friend in Melbourne says she feels the same way – we have this group chat where we desperately share whatever clips we can find, like digital archaeologists piecing together our culture.
Yesterday, my cousin in Shanghai sent me a clear video of their performance. Watching Sui and Han glide across the ice to that beautiful Chinese music, I got that familiar lump in my throat. It’s more than just sports – it’s about staying connected to where we come from, to those shared moments that make us who we are.
Anyone else overseas struggling with this? That moment when you see everyone back home talking about that new show or that amazing sports moment, and you’re stuck with error messages? Share your stories below – maybe we can help each other find ways to stay connected to home.
