I was video-calling my cousin in Vancouver last night when she suddenly groaned – ‘Ugh, the trailer for The Arrow God keeps buffering! Why can’t I watch Chinese movies properly here?’ Her frustration hit home. Like many overseas Chinese, she’s stuck in that weird limbo of being culturally connected yet technologically blocked from the latest domestic releases.
This new animated epic about Houyi the archer-god (slated for August 19 release) looks particularly stunning. The studio is adapting nine Chinese myths into one sweeping narrative – think Moana meets Journey to the West, with arrow battles against rebel armies, demons, and yes, those infamous ten suns. My cousin’s teenage daughter could recite the Houyi legends before she could write her name, but now geo-blocks are keeping them from seeing their heritage animated in this groundbreaking format.
What makes this especially frustrating? The film’s core message about overcoming impossible odds feels painfully ironic when you’re battling buffering circles. Houyi could shoot down suns, but can we defeat the ‘This content is not available in your region’ notification?
I remember watching CCTV’s Journey to the West animation as a kid, the VHS tapes my aunt mailed from Shanghai always arriving months late. Today’s diaspora kids shouldn’t have to rely on care packages when global streaming exists – they just need the right ‘arrows’ to pierce through those digital barriers.
So to my cousin and millions like her: Don’t let geo-blocks extinguish your cultural connection like Houyi’s arrows did to those excess suns. There are ways to watch (coming right up in our tutorial section). Because really, what’s more heroic than a determined viewer with a VPN?
