Bruce Lahn has always been something of a rebel. As an undergraduate at Beijing University in the late-1980s, Lahn was a ringleader in the first wave of student prodemocracy protests. "I was fiercely opposed to the communist ideology," he says. "I just didn't want to be told what to do, especially if it didn't come with a reason." These early rallies set the stage for the huge demonstrations that would culminate in the infamous crackdown in Tiananmen Square.
