I was sipping boba in downtown Vancouver when my cousin from Guangzhou sent me a Weibo link – the new soundtrack album for ‘A Mortal’s Journey’ had just dropped. The thumbnail showed Wang Zhengliang and Tan Weiwei’s faces glowing under what looked like magical cultivation lighting. My finger hovered over the play button… only to be greeted by that dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message.
The frustration felt physical – that tingling in your fingertips when you’re seconds away from hearing Tan Weiwei’s powerhouse vocals, only to hit the digital Great Wall. My phone screen reflected the rainy Vancouver streets outside, while the album description taunted me: ‘Every track is a soulful footnote on the path of cultivation.’ Yeah, well my cultivation path was currently blocked by IP restrictions.
This isn’t just about missing the latest xianxia drama soundtrack. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I couldn’t stream the CCTV gala live. During Spring Cleaning, my mom’s favorite variety show kept buffering. That nostalgic smell of osmanthus cakes from the Asian supermarket? Perfect. The inability to share cultural moments with family back home? Less perfect.
Here’s the irony – the ‘A Mortal’s Journey’ album promises ‘through listening, mortals can ride the wind.’ Meanwhile, we overseas mortals are stuck watching the loading spinner go round and round like some digital meditation wheel. The comments section was full of fellow diaspora folks: ‘Anyone got a mirror link?’ ‘Why can’t I buy this on iTunes?’ ‘My VPN isn’t working again!’
I finally got the album to play after some… creative digital maneuvering (more on that later). The opening track’s guzheng notes immediately transported me to my college days in Beijing, when my roommate and I would binge-watch xianxia dramas with takeout malaxiangguo. That’s what we’re really chasing – not just content, but connection.
So to all my fellow culture-starved overseas Chinese: I feel you. That moment when you excitedly click on Zhou Rui’s new song only to see the buffering circle of doom. That pang when you realize your kids might grow up without the same soundtrack to their childhood. But here’s the good news – there are ways to get around these digital borders. (Stay tuned for the tutorial coming right after this article!)
