Season 1 Recap
In American Born Chinese’s first season, we saw Jin Wang, a 10th-grader, trying to balance his social life with warring but loving parents. In the process, he finds himself entangled in a world of Chinese mythological gods. Jin’s guide, Wei-Chen, the son of the Monkey King, uncovers that Jin is the Fourth Scroll, the key to stopping Bull Demon’s impending uprising in Heaven. They save Heaven and Earth, but not without consequences. Wei-Chen returns home, leaving Jin behind on Earth, where he finds that his parents have been taken, and he must go with a stranger if he wants to see his parents again.
