A demonstrator who opposed a column of tanks the day after the Chinese military had made a murderous move to destroy the resistance to the government. |
'Tank Man' (dubbed The Unknown Rebel by Time Magazine, which later named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century) is/was a protestor who stood in front of a column of tanks on June 4, 1989, the morning after the Chinese military had brutally suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. He was photographed by 5 photographers and the images were smuggles out of China. These dramatic images quickly made him became a international icon of non-violent resistance. His fate and identity remain unknown.
