The answer to the question of what makes a person an American has been an elusive one.

Having a document that states that you are such, either by birth or naturalization, may make it clear legally.

But as you likely know, it's always been a much more complicated issue.

Though this country prides itself on being founded and grown and sustained by its immigrants,

it has sometimes been those very differences of race, culture, religion, politics, and ethnicity

that have made it so difficult to find an all-embracing

definition of what it is to be an American, if that's even possible. That's a question that

photographer, An Rang Zhu, has pursued in his work documenting the lives of Chinese Americans.

His images illustrate the challenges faced by people of Chinese heritage, who, like many other immigrants, have often been asked to abandon

their culture and history as a way of proving their loyalty to their new country. It's something

that An Rang had to face as a young immigrant

boy in elementary school. From fourth grade until eighth grade, I had a huge identity crisis.

I wanted to be white essentially. Like I started listening to music that I didn't like. I started listening

to like, you know, no offense to like people who like rock

music, but like I would, all the white kids were into like rock and punk music and I,

I fell into it.

I was like, yeah, I'm totally about this.

Like, I'm about all this shit about Satan and stuff.

And I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, you know? So, like, these kids kind of pushed me into this realm

where self-hate was because I didn't see myself reflected in anything else. So I kind of went

after the things that I thought had the most social value. Anne Wrong has dedicated many years
