==Early life==
Chris Lu was born on June 12, 1966 in New Jersey.〔 In 1974, his family moved to the Fallsmead neighborhood of Rockville, Maryland, where he graduated from Thomas S. Wootton High School in 1984. Lu is the son of Eileen and Chien-Yang Lu, both of whom were born in Mainland China and lived in Taiwan until the 1950s when they emigrated to the United States to attend college. Lu's grandfather, Wang Ren-yuan, was the Minister of Justice of the Republic of China from 1970 to 1976 and was elected to the first Legislative Yuan in 1948 to represent Tianjin. Lu said he was heavily influenced by his father, who worked as an electrical engineer but loved literature and history; the two would read biographies of politicians and watch the evening news together.
Lu attended the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, where he was the senior news editor of the ''Daily Princetonian''. Lu's ambition for a political career developed at Princeton, particularly during his internship in the Capitol Hill office of Senator Charles Mathias. He graduated ''magna cum laude'' in 1988,〔("Kaleo O Aapi: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders." ) ''Obama for America'', official campaign literature, pg.4, July 25, 2008.〕 after writing a senior thesis on press coverage of presidential campaigns.〔 After graduating from Princeton, Lu attended Harvard Law School, where he was one of Barack Obama's classmates from 1988 to 1991.
