Wu'er Kaixi

Wu’er Kaixi’s role in the film was one of the most outspoken student leaders. He met with Premier Li Peng in May 1989 where he interrupted Li’s introduction stating that there are people being hungry in the square while Li was exchanging pleasantries. He also stated how Li was too late but was glad that he had come at all.
After the crackdown on the 4th of June, 1989, Wu’er Kaixi became the second most wanted out of the student leaders and was forced to flee to France. He then went to study at Harvard but was unable to graduate. He started in a family in Taiwan afterwards and continues to live there now. Kaixi has been the CEO of an internet Chinese article company, the vice general manager of a broadcasting company, COO of an internet incubation company and the co-founder of a multi-media management software company. Right now, he is running a Taiwan based Asia Pacific operation. On the 3rd of June, 2009, he went to Macau to turn himself in to Chinese authorities but was deported back to Taiwan. This year, he was arrested by the Tokyo police for forcing into the Chinese Embassy to turn himself in, in order to have a chat with the authorities of China. He was released in 48 hours without charge. Now he is still the 2nd most wanted student leader and currently resides in Taiwan, although he would like to return to the mainland to make things clear with the government.
