When My Cousin Sent Me This Campus Concert Video From China, I Finally Understood Why Overseas Chinese Get So Frustrated

My phone buzzed at 3 AM here in Toronto—my cousin in Beijing had sent me a video with the caption ‘You missed the party!’ The screen showed a sea of university students waving glow sticks, their cheers so loud I could almost feel the vibration through my cold apartment floor.

It was QQ Music’s Campus Concert at University of International Business and Economics, featuring seven artists including Doggie, Allen Su, and Bird Zhang. The video showed students singing along to every word of both classic hits and brand new releases. I could almost smell the mix of fresh grass and excitement from the transformed sports field.

When My Cousin Sent Me This Campus Concert Video From China, I Finally Understood Why Overseas Chinese Get So Frustrated

What hit me hardest was watching them react to Wei Jiaying’s performance—her voice cracking with emotion during the chorus while students held up homemade signs. One girl had drawn a detailed cartoon of the artist with ‘This song got me through finals!’ written underneath. The paper edges were slightly curled from being held with sweaty palms.

See, here’s the thing that stings—my cousin knows I’ve been a fan of Yan Zehuan since college. Back in 2018, we’d crowd into her dorm room sharing earphones to stream his new releases. Now she’s there in person, recording his performance while I’m halfway across the world staring at buffering symbols.

The comment section under the official post breaks my heart a little. User ‘MelodyInMelbourne’ wrote: ‘Tried watching from Australia—got the ‘content not available in your region’ message. Again.’ There’s something deeply frustrating about being culturally Chinese but geographically disconnected from these shared experiences.

Maybe it sounds dramatic, but watching that concert footage felt like overhearing a fantastic party happening in the next room. You can hear the laughter and music, you know all the inside jokes, but you’re stuck outside because someone changed the locks.

So to everyone who’s ever faced the spinning wheel of doom while trying to watch Chinese content abroad—I feel you. That frustration when you’re three seconds into a viral performance video and it freezes? Yeah, we’ve all been there. What Chinese show or concert have you missed most from overseas?
