    Overview
    Soe was an ethnic Chinese[3] Roman Catholic, the fourth of five children in his family; his elder
    brother Arief Budiman, a sociologist and lecturer at Satya Wacana Christian University, was also
    quite a vocal critical voice in Indonesian politics.

    After spending his final years of senior high school at Kanisius, Soe attended the University of
    Indonesia (UI) from 1962 until 1969; upon finishing university he became a lecturer at his alma
    mater until his death. It was during his time as a student that Soe became an active dissident,
    protesting against President Sukarno and the PKI. Soe was a productive writer, with articles
    published in such newspapers as Kompas, Harian Kami,Sinar Harapan, Mahasiswa Indonesia, and
    Indonesia Raya. After the release of Riri Riza's Gie in 2005, his articles were compiled by Stanley
    and Aris Santoso and republished with the title Zaman Peralihan (Transition Era) by publisher
    GagasMedia.
    An avid proponent of living close to nature, Soe quoted Walt Whitman in his diary: "Now I see the
    secret of the making of the best person. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the
    earth". In 1965, Soe helped found Mapala UI, a student environmentalist organisation. He enjoyed
    hiking, and indeed died through inhaling poisonous gas while hiking up the volcanic Mount
    Semeru on the day before his 27th birthday. He was laid to rest in what is now the Museum of the
    Park of Memorial Stones (Museum Taman Prasasti) in Central Jakarta.
    Fittingly, Soe once wrote in his diary:
    "Seorang filsuf Yunani pernah menulis ... nasib terbaik adalah tidak dilahirkan, yang kedua
    dilahirkan tapi mati muda, dan yang tersial adalah umur tua. Rasa-rasanya memang begitu.
    Bahagialah mereka yang mati muda."

    This roughly translates to English as "A Greek philosopher once wrote ... The best fate is to never
    have been born, second is to be born but die young, and the most unfortunate of all is to [reach]
    old age. This feels pretty right: Happy are those who die young." Soe attributed the statement,
    which echoes similar comments from Friedrich Nietzsche, to an anonymous Greek philosopher.

    Catatan Seorang Demonstran (English:


    His diary was published in 1983, under the title
    Annotations of a Demonstrator). Soe's university thesis was also published, as Di Bawah Lantera
    Merah (Under the Red Lantern).
    Soe's diary served as the inspiration for a 2005 film, Gie, which was directed by Riri Riza and
    starred Nicholas Saputra as Soe Hok Gie. Soe is also the subject of a 1997 book, written by Dr.
    John Maxwell and entitledSoe Hok-Gie: Diary of a Young Indonesian Intellectual. The book was
    Indonesian in 2001, and re-titled Soe Hok-Gie: Pergulatan Intelektual Muda
    translated into
    Melawan Tirani (which roughly translates to English asSoe Hok-Gie: A Young Intellectual's
    Struggle Against Tyranny).
