Just got a WeChat message from my cousin studying in Toronto - she sent me a screenshot of Xu Zhuoyi's 13.26 seconds in the 110m hurdles preliminaries, with five crying emojis. 'I refreshed Weibo for three hours just to watch this 13-second clip buffer,' she wrote. 'The video kept freezing right when he jumped over the last hurdle.'
It reminded me of last year's Asian Games when she tried to watch the swimming finals. The live stream showed her the 'content not available in your region' message while our family group chat was exploding with 'Go China!' messages. She ended up watching a pixelated version on some sketchy website that made the swimmers look like Minecraft characters.
Xu Zhuoyi's 13.26 seconds - that's faster than it takes for my cousin's VPN to connect sometimes. I remember watching hurdles races with her back in high school. We'd sit on the floor of my bedroom, sharing earphones connected to my phone, watching those grainy videos of Liu Xiang. Now she's halfway across the world, still trying to catch every moment of Chinese sports.
What's funny is how creative overseas Chinese have become. My cousin told me she once joined a 'sports streaming support group' on WeChat - everyone sharing which VPN worked that day, which website had the least pop-up ads. Someone even streamed the basketball finals through Zoom while screen-sharing from China. The quality was terrible, but everyone in that virtual room cheered like they were courtside.
Tonight at 9 PM, when Xu Zhuoyi, Liu Junqian, and Chen Yuanjiang step onto the track for the finals, my cousin will probably be having her breakfast in Canada, clicking between three different VPN apps. She'll message me 'Is it starting yet?' every two minutes, and I'll be her human live commentary from this side of the ocean.
To all my fellow overseas Chinese trying to watch the games - I feel you. That moment when you finally get a stable stream just as the national anthem starts playing? Nothing beats that. Well, except maybe being there in person. But until then, we'll keep finding ways to cheer from thousands of miles away.
