Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this action-packed modern fable. American Born Chinese is an amazing ride, all the way up to the astonishing climax. ]]> 68959 3.91 4347 1097 2006 4 0 false Sun Jun 07 19:14:10 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 20:10:17 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 19:14:10 -0700 2009
