I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break at the campus library when a video popped up – Olympic diving champion Quan Hongchan, the girl who amazed the world with her perfect dives, was now sitting in the audience at some breaking dance competition. The caption said she was there cheering for her friend Liu Qingyi, another incredible athlete who’s won medals at both Olympics and Asian Games.
What got me wasn’t just seeing these two amazing athletes supporting each other – it was the realization that this video had taken three different VPNs and two hours of buffering to finally load properly. The pixelated footage kept freezing right when Quan was waving her little flag, and I found myself leaning closer to the screen like that would somehow make it load faster.
Remember back home, watching sports events used to be so simple. I’d be sitting with my family, sharing a bowl of sunflower seeds while cheering for our athletes. Now? I’m calculating time zones, testing different streaming platforms, and praying the connection holds during the best moments. That video of Quan’s excited face when her friend performed? It kept buffering right at that crucial second.
Last month during the Asian Games, my cousin back in Guangzhou sent me a 10-second clip of Liu Qingyi’s performance that she recorded on her phone. ‘Thought you’d want to see this since you can’t watch it properly there,’ she wrote. The video was shaky and you could hear her family cheering in the background, but it felt more real than any official stream I’d struggled to access.
It’s not just about sports either. Last week, my mom tried to video call me while watching their favorite cooking show, wanting to show me how the chef made this particular dish we both love. The call kept dropping, and when it finally connected, she was just saying ‘…and then you add the soy sauce’ while I stared at a frozen frame of half-chopped vegetables.
Seeing Quan Hongchan there in the audience, just being a normal fan supporting her friend, made me miss those simple moments of shared cultural experiences. That feeling when everyone back home is watching the same thing, laughing at the same jokes, cheering for the same athletes – it’s like we’re all connected by this invisible thread that somehow gets tangled when you’re overseas.
So here I am, writing this between checking my VPN connections and refreshing multiple tabs. That video of Quan as a ‘fan girl’? Still buffering. But it got me thinking – how many of you are also struggling to watch hometown content from abroad? What’s the one show or event you’ve been desperately trying to stream lately?
