I was scrolling through my phone during my lunch break, a lukewarm coffee going cold next to me, when a clip from CCTV Sports popped up. It was Jin Boyang, fresh off his National Championships win, talking to the camera. The arena lights made his Team China jacket look extra bright. ‘I want to add more difficulty,’ he said, his voice calm but with that familiar skater’s focus in his eyes. ‘The choreography wasn’t originally for difficulty… but if I can land these two quads at 90% in competition, that solid foundation will give me more confidence to push higher.’
That word, ‘difficulty,’ hit me in a weirdly personal way. Not because I can do a quadruple toe loop (I can barely ice skate without holding the wall), but because it instantly dragged up a memory from last week.
My cousin, who moved to Toronto a few years back, video-called me, her face pixelated and frozen mid-sigh. ‘I just want to watch the full replay of his free skate!’ she groaned. ‘I found the CCTV Sports clip on Weibo, but it buffers every five seconds. It’s like watching a slideshow of someone falling.’ She was trying to follow Jin Boyang’s season from overseas, and the ‘difficulty’ wasn’t in his jumps—it was in just getting the video to play smoothly.
It’s funny, isn’t it? Athletes like Jin Boyang are voluntarily adding layers of complexity—more rotations, trickier entries—chasing that confidence that comes from mastering the hard stuff. Meanwhile, so many of us living outside China face this other, frustrating kind of ‘difficulty’ that we never signed up for. You find a trending show, a hot new variety program, or a crucial sports moment on Weibo, Youku, or iQiyi, and you’re met with the cold, digital shoulder of a geo-block. ‘This content is not available in your region.’ Or the endless buffering circle that feels like it’s laughing at you.
I remember another friend in Melbourne desperately trying to watch a Chinese reality show everyone was talking about. ‘I finally found a source,’ she texted, ‘but the subtitles were out of sync, and the quality looked like it was filmed through a potato.’ She spent more time troubleshooting than actually watching. The emotional payoff of the show was completely lost in the technical struggle.
Jin Boyang’s plan is methodical: build a solid 90% foundation first, then add the hard stuff. It’s a smart, sustainable approach to a challenge. Our challenge as overseas viewers feels messier. It’s not about building up skill; it’s about navigating this invisible wall that pops up whenever we try to connect with the entertainment and culture from home. That moment of excitement—clicking on a trending topic—can so quickly deflate into frustration.
So, when I heard Jin Boyang talk about confronting difficulty to gain confidence, I couldn’t help but think of all my friends and family abroad. There’s a shared desire here, isn’t there? The skater wants to land the perfect jump to feel that competitive confidence. We just want to watch a show, a game, or a music video without the digital hiccups, to feel that simple, comforting connection of being in the loop. To enjoy the content without the extra, unwanted ‘program difficulty’ of location barriers.
Maybe that’s the real parallel. Whether it’s on the ice or behind a screen, we’re all just looking for a way to perform the routine smoothly, to get past the blocks, and finally enjoy the program.
