A new American Born Chinese poster has been released for the upcoming Disney+ series, which will premiere May 24 with all eight episodes. The newly designed art by acclaimed Taiwanese-American artist James Jean depicts the journey of the main character, Jin Wang, and incorporates Jean’s personal experience.
”While watching American Born Chinese, my ears burned and I squirmed in my seat because Jin’s journey felt so hauntingly familiar,” Jean said. “It was the pain of recognition: the ill-fitting clothes, the feeling of being on the outside, the percussive sound of parents arguing through the walls in a language not fully grasped. I had never seen my own experience of adolescence depicted on screen like this before.”
