From Tiananmen to Tokyo: Lu Dong’s Journey of Courage, Faith, and Innovation

Japan, where he leads a groundbreaking platform connecting travelers to Japan’s
renowned culinary scene through seamless reservations, ordering, and payment
solutions. A former Wall Street professional and Stanford MBA, Lu’s
entrepreneurial journey spans industries and continents, including pioneering ecommerce ventures in China. A survivor of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, Lu’s life has been defined by extraordinary courage, from standing against oppression to embracing Christianity and publicly declaring his faith in a country where less than 1% identify as Christian.
