Explore Chinese culture, psychology, and identity through the eyes of an American-born Chinese (ABC) father born and raised in white Southern Baptist Atlanta, Georgia, who spent 20 years living and working across Greater China—and is now raising his next-generation ABC son in Southern California as a stay-at-home-dad.

If you're curious about how Chinese people think, how culture shapes our communication patterns, and what really matters at the intersection of Eastern thought and Western thinking, then explore, linger, and immerse yourself in ABC in the Middle.

Genuine stories, nuanced analysis, and cross-cultural perspectives on Guanxi, giving face, and the Chinese perspective—and how these contrasting values show up in everyday American life. Along the way, you'll also pick up useful Mandarin phrases and a deeper understanding of the language that naturally emerges through context, conversation, and application.
