American Born Chinese Season 2 Release Date
With the release of American Born Chinese Season 1 on the 24th of May, 2023, makers are currently waiting for the reviews on season 1. The way the audience takes season 1 decides the future of a second season. However, if everything goes well, we can expect a second season soon in the year 2024.
What Is American-Born Chinese About?
American-Born Chinese is all about a Chinese- American young boy, Jin Wang, who fights and tries to get an identification of his own. The struggles which he faces in America are portrayed here. The programme takes viewers on a journey of self-discovery as Jin learns to negotiate the complexities of his cultural history and the expectations of those around him. When he meets Wei-Chen, a student on exchange from another country, he is sucked into a battle between the Gods of Chinese mythology.
One of the Gods is known as “The Monkey King,” who is also the most prevalent and was first introduced in the later part of the 16th Century. A variety of stories have been circulated about the Monkey King, a kung-fu expert who was said to have had a difficult time accepting his appearance in particular. Of these, the one that has been most widely reported is the one about how he struggled with accepting himself.
A physical transformation caused by the transformation of his internal being has given him a more human-like form, which has also influenced how he appears to others.
Ultimately, after he is imprisoned in a mountain cave because of his natural shape, he is convinced by a friend that he must embrace himself in order to be able to find solutions to the difficulties he is experiencing. The twist in the movie arrives when the monkey king finally comes out of the cave prison just when he starts accepting him the way he is.
