I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break when I stumbled upon that clip of basketball sisters Yang Liwei and Yang Shuyu drawing blind boxes—you know, the one where Shuyu keeps pulling purple figurines while grinning about her ‘purple luck’ superstition. Watching her laugh about how she’d specifically wished for purple because ‘ziding xing’ (sounding like ‘definitely will succeed’) made me chuckle, but then it hit me: here I was, comfortably streaming this domestic content while my cousin in Vancouver had messaged me just yesterday, frustrated that she couldn’t watch the same video without constant buffering.
Shuyu’s playful confidence in her purple destiny—first with team blind boxes, then again during the TiTan Ling Juli interview where she drew the purple Diaochan figurine—reminded me of how we all develop little rituals for luck. My cousin used to wear the same socks during every exam week in college. But now? She can’t even reliably watch Chinese variety shows to decompress after work. The regional restrictions hit her like a wall, turning simple entertainment into a logistical nightmare.
There’s something particularly isolating about being cut off from the cultural moments everyone back home is sharing. When Shuyu described her pre-game tradition of seeking purple items, I remembered how my cousin would always video call during Chinese New Year galas, the audio lagging behind the visuals as she tried to sync her stream with ours. ‘It’s like watching comedy through a waterfall,’ she’d joke, but the disappointment in her voice was palpable.
The data backs this up too—a 2023 survey showed 68% of overseas Chinese experience content accessibility issues weekly, with movie releases and variety shows being the most frequently blocked. Yet 92% still try to access domestic platforms monthly, driven by that longing for cultural connection. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about maintaining threads to the community rhythms everyone else experiences in real-time.
Maybe what Shuyu’s purple luck really represents is that human need for consistency in an unpredictable world—whether it’s drawing the right color figurine or being able to watch your favorite show after a long day. As I finished the video, I sent my cousin a screenshot of Shuyu’s triumphant smile with the message: ‘If she can manifest purple figures across multiple blind boxes, we can definitely figure out your streaming issues.’ She replied immediately: ‘I’d take reliable video playback over purple luck any day.’ Anyone else overseas constantly battling the ‘this content is not available in your region’ message?
