American Born Chinese Friendship Quotes

Maybe it's a little cheesy of us to admit this, but the ending of the book really is a sweet, feel-good, makes-us-go-aw ending. Jin apologizes to Wei-Chen, who by now is so transformed by Jin's betrayal that he's turned into an Asian gangster (or at least he dresses like one). So it's just really fitting that—over a cup of pearl milk tea—Wei-Chen comes around and forgives Jin. Why is that pearl milk tea so significant? Pearl milk tea is the defining drink of Chinese Americans (especially Taiwanese Americans), so when Jin willingly says he'll go with Wei-Chen to Wei-Chen's favorite pearl milk tea place, Jin is basically showing Wei-Chen that he's cool with both his and Wei-Chen's Chineseness.
