          “Neither the ‘bamboo curtain’ nor sexual confusion could keep Peter Rupert Lighte from his appointed rounds.

          He was determined to become a sinologist before President Nixon called in on Chairman Mao and to be a father when gay still meant  festive.

            

          In the early 1970s, Peter studied Chinese culture at Princeton University and subsequently taught Chinese history and

          philosophy to college students.

          In the early 1980s, he went on to open a bank’s office in Beijing and soon found himself thriving in the world of international finance. He continued to live abroad for three decades, dividing his time between London, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Beijing.”  (peterlighte.com)
