IIUC he was going to China next, possibly Hong Kong. He was a finance and commerce major, and he might have been thinking of his future professional life. His father made some passing remarks about his reasons, but I don't think he delved into it much (I cannot find a link ATM). BTW I found this Time article helpful in understanding the diplomatic situation.
