I was scrolling through Weibo from my apartment in Vancouver when I stumbled upon my cousin’s digital diary – she’s training with the provincial diving team back in Guangzhou. Between her practice schedules and nutrition charts, she’d saved that viral video of Zhou Jihong, Wu Minxia, and Chen Yuxi – three generations of Chinese diving legends having a heartfelt conversation.
The video kept buffering every ten seconds, that annoying loading circle spinning like an Olympic rings parody. My cousin had captioned it: ‘Watching this feels like finding my grandma’s old diving photos – same determination, different era.’ She wasn’t wrong. There was something about Zhou Jihong’s 1984 Olympic footage, pixelated but powerful, that made me miss the smell of chlorine from my own childhood swimming lessons.
Remember when we’d crowd around that small CRT TV in our Shanghai living room, the static electricity making our hair stand up every time someone touched the screen? We’d watch divers slice into the water with barely a splash, my aunt always commenting how their entry was ‘cleaner than her washed vegetables.’ Now I’m trying to watch the same magic from across the ocean, fighting with VPNs just to see my national heroes.
What struck me most was Chen Yuxi mentioning how she studies Wu Minxia’s old routines – not just the techniques, but the way Wu would always adjust her hairclip before diving. That specific detail hit differently when I realized I couldn’t smoothly stream their reunion special. It’s like having family stories interrupted right at the climax.
My cousin told me their training center plays old Olympic footage during meals. ‘The new divers complain about the video quality,’ she texted, ‘until they notice how Zhou Jihong’s 1984 dive has the same body line as Chen Yuxi’s 2024 practice videos – that’s when they stop complaining.’
There’s a particular loneliness in being an overseas sports fan. You want to participate in the national conversation, to feel that collective pride when another Chinese diver stands on the podium. But instead you’re refreshing pages, troubleshooting error messages, and missing the cultural moments that unite everyone back home.
After three failed attempts to watch the full interview, I finally messaged my cousin: ‘Just describe it to me like we’re back in middle school and you’re telling me about a movie I missed.’ She sent back a voice note imitating the commentators, complete with splash sound effects. We both knew it wasn’t the same, but it was what we had.
