I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I came across that interview with Fan Zhendong. You know, the table tennis star? He was talking about returning from club matches to represent his provincial team, and when asked about changes, he dropped this line: ‘The only constant is change.’
Honestly, that hit different when you’re sitting 12,000 kilometers away from home, trying to watch the latest Chinese drama that everyone’s talking about. The video kept buffering every 30 seconds – that spinning circle becoming my personal nemesis. I could almost hear Fan’s voice saying ‘adapt or perish’ while I stared at my frozen screen.
Remember when we were kids back home? We’d gather around the TV with family, watching whatever show was popular, no questions asked about ‘content availability’ or ‘regional restrictions.’ The only buffer we knew was the commercial break when mom would rush to get more snacks. Now? I have to plan my viewing sessions like military operations, checking time zones and praying to the internet gods.
Last week, my cousin in Shanghai sent me a clip from a new variety show. ‘You have to watch this!’ she texted. Three minutes in – ‘This content is not available in your region.’ That familiar message felt like getting served a delicious-looking meal only to have it snatched away before the first bite. I could practically taste the disappointment.
What Fan said about ‘the only thing that must never change is the desire to win’ – that’s us overseas Chinese with our streaming struggles. We refuse to accept that we can’t participate in the cultural conversations happening back home. That determination to stay connected? That’s our winning mentality.
The other day, I video-called my grandma in Fujian. She was watching her favorite singing competition on TV while we talked. ‘Why don’t you watch it too?’ she asked. I didn’t have the heart to explain geo-blocking to my 78-year-old grandmother who still thinks the internet is magic. I just smiled and said ‘Maybe later, Nainai.’
You know what’s funny? When I finally managed to watch that Fan Zhendong interview properly (after multiple attempts), his calm acceptance of constant change actually made me feel better about my streaming woes. If an Olympic athlete can embrace adaptation as part of growth, maybe I can too.
So to all my fellow overseas Chinese nodding along right now – I see you. That frustration when you miss out on the latest movie everyone’s discussing back home? That determination to find a way to stay culturally connected? That’s our version of ‘the desire to win’ that Fan talked about. And honestly? We’re winning just by trying.
