You may know the English letters A B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are people called “banana persons”? If you don’t know I will tell you. They are Chinese people like you and me but they aren’t in China. Why do people call them that?

ABC means America –born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese but was born in the United States. Sometimes people also call them “banana persons”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So when a person is a banana he or she is white (American) inside and yellow (Chinese) outside. They are born in America and they live in America for a long time. Even their nationalities (国籍)are Americans. So they think like Americans and do things like Americans. But they still have Chinese blood. Their parents grandparents or great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. So they look like us Chinese people. For example we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang(扬振宁). He is an ABC and he is a “banana person”. We like him although his nationality isn’t Chinese.
