Tank Man At Tiananmen Square
This photo was taken moments before the tanks stopped in front of an unidentified man in Tiananmen Square, in Beijing, China.
It was June 5, 1989, when a stranger only known as “Tank Man” became the focus of history’s most iconic image of resistance. He bravely stood down four Chinese tanks during protests against political corruption.
This photo might not be the history maker, but it reveals just how large and threatening the row of tanks must have been in contrast to a single, brave man.
