| Description | In June 1989, student protest leader Wang Dan made the Chinese government's "most wanted" list after he helped organize a people's protest for democracy in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
The demonstration left hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters dead after the Chinese government attacked the civilians and students who'd assembled.
Today, Wang is the author of 17 books about his experiences, and he's working on his Ph.D. at Harvard University.
But Wang's odyssey from Beijing to Boston has been a painful journey that included years of incarceration in China.
Wang was a history student at Beijing University and largely considered the brains of the Tiananmen protest movement.
