I was scrolling through my cousin’s WeChat moments when I saw it—a screenshot of the China Open men’s singles draw. She’s studying in Beijing, and her caption read: ‘Our boys are all in the top half! Bu Yunchaoke vs De Minaur first round—goosebumps!’ The timestamp showed 2:00 AM her time, meaning she’d stayed up just to see the draw live.
That’s when it hit me: I used to do the same thing. Back in college, my roommate and I would huddle around my laptop during the US Open, sharing headphones because campus Wi-Fi couldn’t handle two streams. We’d debate matchups like we were coaches—’Zverev’s backhand could trouble Medvedev on hard courts!’—while secretly hoping underdogs would pull off upsets.
But here’s the thing: when I moved to Toronto last year, I tried to watch the China Open highlights on Weibo. The screen showed a spinning loading icon for ten seconds before displaying: ‘This content is not available in your region.’ I actually laughed out loud—not because it was funny, but because it felt like being locked out of your own family’s group chat.
My cousin later sent me a voice message describing the atmosphere: ‘You should’ve heard the crowd when they announced Zhang Zhizhen’s match! People were waving little flags, and this kid next to me kept shouting ‘Jia you!’ His voice cracked halfway through—it was adorable.’ I could almost smell the mix of sunscreen and stadium snacks through her description.
It’s not just about missing a sports event. It’s about missing those shared cultural moments—the inside jokes about players, the collective groans when a favorite gets a tough draw, even the way Chinese commentators pronounce foreign names with theatrical flair. Last month, my aunt in Vancouver spent three hours trying to watch a variety show before giving up. She texted: ‘I just wanted to feel like I’m back home for two hours.’
So here’s my question to fellow overseas Chinese: What’s the one show or event you wish you could watch without those frustrating ‘content not available’ messages? For me, it’s seeing new tennis talents emerge—like wondering if Shang Juncheng can become the next Li Na for men’s tennis. What’s yours?
