American Born Chinese Audiobook Novels & Stories

"My mother is Chinese. I lived in China until I was ten years old, so I can speak such a fluent Chinese." Amy Waltson smiled, "We are almost the same." "I've heard about you. You were born in China, but you were sent to the United States when you were very young, right?" Hearing what Edwin said, Amy Waltson was a little surprised. Before, she had always thought that Edwin had never noticed herself at all. "It's lonely in a foreign country." Amy Waltson smiled, "Just get used to it." "It's strange." Amy Waltson looked at him, "What?"

This burden was just for me to carry. I am David Chang, a middle schooler residing in Tokyo. The first question which arose in your mind must be related to the absurdity of my name. My ethnicity belongs to a Sino-American background with my mom from America and dad being a resident of Korea. We could go into the backstory anytime, but let's focus on the matter at hand.

They only grew deeper in the hills and I stayed behind to tend to anyone who might come. Anyone. Shit. A woman shuffled in not long after, complaining of joint pain. I almost told her to get a pain reliever from the pharmacy down the road. The words sat right on my tongue. I caught myself just in time. My fingers trembled as I reached for Uncle Thomas’s book instead, the pages worn thin from years of use. I flipped through it too quickly, then slowed, forcing myself to breathe. They were all in fucking Chinese. Jesus. I brewed what I thought was right, praying silently that I was not about to poison someone. When she left, thanking me repeatedly, my knees nearly gave out from relief.

I speak English, Afrikaans and I know some Mandarin 💜 I'm honestly in love with Chinese culture hopefully I'll be in China soon if all goes well 😏 Shorter chapter but I'm so excited for the next one!! ~T

“Did what exactly? I’ve been nothing but a devoted husband.” “Well, my husband,” she said, putting exaggerated emphasis on the word as she leaned closer, “I’m talking about you managing to track down my ancestor in China. That was incredible.” Her voice softened as she spoke. “I’ve always known my mum was mixed race, that my grandmother was Chinese and left for a better life in the States—but I knew nothing about my ancestors back in China. I couldn’t even speak a word of Mandarin.” She reached up, her fingers caressing the tanned skin of his cheek, still kissed bronze by the Balinese sun. “Truly, thank you. It means so much to me.”

From the strange voice that guides him to attack the horrible creatures, he and Bianca meet on the beach, for instance. It felt really = really confusing, he mumbled to himself. He hastily flashed a brief friendly smile at the group of housekeepers who were passing through the corridor that he and Bianca were currently travelling through but had different directions as it was the only way he could think of to reply to them. In this house, everyone in it spoke Chinese, so that obviously made him feel confused. Even though he was born into a family of Chinese descent, if asked about his Chinese language skills, he would without a doubt raise his hands in surrender-a sign from her for giving up

Chan took a sip of the cold water beside her and then said, “Well, as you know, my full name is Chandra Chandler. I’m a Kiwi. Well, half Cambodian, half Kiwi.” “Yes, I can tell from the accent. I like the Kiwi accent. And the half Cambodian part. I like that. So is your mom Cambodian or your dad?” “Mom,” Chan said. Jeremy continued with his questions.. “So why did you decide to move to Australia?” Chan’s face suddenly paled, and her gaze froze on his face. Jeremy noticed. He instantly knew he was stepping onto dangerous ground. Chan lowered her eyes, and suddenly her stomach tightened. She frowned and told herself to calm down. She needed to get ahold of herself.

It was loaded with so much. While we dined the front door opened and in came Amamiya-san, some foreigners; A couple of AA's, a blonde caucasian and an Asian guy. He looked at me, pointed, and waved. I think... perhaps because we're both the only Asians. He looks Chinese though... I blinked and awkwardly held up a hand. I would later learn that he's Claire's Dad. Amamiya-san traced his gaze to us. Her lips curled up and her eyes shimmered.

I look at you, that's pretty unlikely eh?" he said with a big smile plastered all over his face. "Hmm." was the best response Sheng Chen could think off. Barely having talked to anyone in real life in the last few years, his social etiquette was "lacking" to say the least. "My name is Shin, Shin Hung, what's your name? You're Chinese right?" he said extending his hand to help Sheng Chen up. Sheng Chen stared at his hand for a few seconds and then looked at his face thinking, 'Quite a wide face this guy has' and then grabbed his hand. "Yes, I'm Chinese, are you American? You sound like a cowboy," Sheng Chen said looking at him. There was a hint of the infamous southern states in his acce

Why wasn’t he answering the telephone? As luck would have it Cui Fen, her housekeeper of twenty years, was an immigrant from Beijing and spoke fluent Mandarin. Since Elsa had never met Ming Ho and wasn’t certain he spoke English, she’d taken a risk and confided in Cui Fen with her story and her plight. To her amazement, not only had Cui Fen heard of Ming Ho, but her family had called upon him and his friend from the family of Wu on several occasions. She felt certain he’d remember this. This would be a help since it wasn’t always easy to get an audience with him. Cui Fen was surprised to hear Elsa got Ming Ho’s number in Beijing from the Spanish Botanica. What a small world it truly was.
