Gene Luen Yang's "American Born Chinese" follows Jin Wang, a Chinese-American student struggling to fit in at his new school. His efforts to assimilate are challenged by the arrival of a Taiwanese classmate, whom he tries to distance himself from to maintain his All-American image. The situation escalates when his cousin, the Monkey King, visits and embarrasses him, threatening his reputation. Jin's story intertwines with other narratives, exploring themes of identity and acceptance. Ultimately, Jin must confront his heritage and find a way to reconcile his dual identities.
