But they still have Chinese blood（血）.Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are 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（杨振宁）. He is an ABC and he is a “banana person”. We like him, although his nationality isn’t Chinese.
