From 'half-nerd' to Hong Kong student leader

BBC World Service - Outlook, From 'half-nerd' to Hong Kong student leader

For democracy campaigner Nathan Law, the important thing is not to hate himself

How "ordinary" Hong Kong student Nathan Law took on authorities in Beijing - and what the personal costs have been.

Nathan Law describes himself as an "ordinary person" and "half nerd" who, growing up in Hong Kong, just wanted to do well at school and get a good job. But his plans - and his whole life - were upended when authorities in Beijing began to threaten democracy in his city state.
