I was scrolling through my cousin’s WeChat moments yesterday when I saw her latest post – a screenshot of Cui Yongxi’s basketball training video from CCTV Sports, completely grayed out with that frustrating ‘This content is not available in your region’ message. She’s been studying in Toronto for three years, and this happens almost daily.
Remember that feeling when you’re craving authentic Chinese entertainment after a long day? The excitement of catching up on the latest episodes, the comfort of hearing familiar voices and music – it’s like emotional comfort food. But for many overseas Chinese, it’s like being handed an empty takeout container.
My cousin’s message popped up right after I saw her post: ‘I just want to watch Cui Yongxi’s training videos like everyone back home! The new season starts next week and I’ll miss everything.’ Her text had that particular tone of digital homesickness that’s become so familiar among our friends abroad.
It’s not just about basketball either. Last month during Mid-Autumn Festival, she tried to stream the CCTV gala and ended up watching a buffering circle for two hours while our family group chat exploded with reactions to the performances. She finally gave up and listened to the audio-only version someone recorded on their phone.
The weirdest part? This happens to everyone I know living outside China. My friend in Sydney can’t watch the cooking shows his mom recommends. My former roommate in London misses the variety shows we used to watch together in college. There’s this collective sigh of frustration across time zones.
But here’s what I’ve noticed – the determination is real. People are getting creative, sharing workarounds in overseas Chinese community groups, teaching each other tricks during late-night video calls. There’s something beautiful about how badly people want to stay connected to home culture.
So to all my overseas friends constantly facing the ‘content not available’ message – I see you, I hear your frustrations, and I get why this matters more than people might think. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about maintaining that precious thread back home.
