I was scrolling through WeChat yesterday when my cousin from Fujian sent me three blurry videos that took forever to load. The first showed a woman I’d never heard of – Liao Guifang – lifting what looked like impossible weights, her face contorted in that particular mix of pain and determination that only elite athletes understand.
The message that came with it read: ‘Can you believe this? Our province’s athlete just broke TWO world records!’ Followed by three crying-laughing emojis and what I assume was meant to be a flexing bicep.
Here’s the thing – I live in Toronto now, and trying to watch Chinese sports events from overseas is like trying to hear a whisper across a crowded room. The videos kept buffering, the quality dropped every few seconds, and I found myself squinting at the screen, trying to make out the numbers on those weight plates.
But through the pixelated mess, I could see something special happening. Liao, this 76kg category athlete from my home province, was lifting 158kg in the clean and jerk. That’s 2kg more than the existing world record. Let that sink in – she was literally lifting more than anyone else in history has ever managed.
Then my cousin sent another clip – Peng Cuiting in the 81kg category, also hitting 271kg total. Her snatch of 128kg? Another record broken. The timing was almost unreal.
I remember watching weightlifting with my dad back in Fuzhou, the smell of tea and the sound of commentators getting increasingly excited as the weights got heavier. There’s something raw about this sport – no fancy equipment, no team to hide behind, just pure human strength against gravity.
My cousin kept messaging: ‘Are you watching? Can you see it properly?’ I had to admit that no, I couldn’t really see it properly. The geo-restrictions and slow connections meant I was getting the sports equivalent of watching through a frosted glass window.
It’s funny – when I lived in China, I took for granted being able to watch these moments live. Now, hearing about these incredible achievements second-hand from family messages feels like being told about a amazing party you couldn’t attend.
Maybe it’s the distance that makes me appreciate these moments more. Or maybe it’s realizing that while these athletes are pushing human limits back home, I’m here struggling to stream a 30-second video without it buffering every five seconds.
So to my cousin in Fujian – thanks for the updates. And to anyone else overseas trying to watch Chinese sports content, I feel your pain. There’s something special about witnessing history being made, even if it’s through blurry, buffering videos sent by enthusiastic relatives.
