  • He got some BALLS!

  • the man is trying to stop the tanks. but the tanks are trying to avoid hitting the man. that's what I see. That's right.Imagine what us government did on the wall street ..........and other affairs

  • 写真では見た事が有ったけど、実際はこんなにぴょこぴょこ動いて­いたのか。

    写真では覚悟を持って臨んだ無名の勇者、という尊厳を感じたけど­、動画では戦車に身一つで嫌がらせをする面白い人に見える。

  • töll_gËbt_mal_bÈÍ_g0ØglE:_geld­easy_ëîN_vOll_kràss

  • china = unbelievable outlaw nation

    china = chinese communist party`s hard despotism nation

    china = death camp and secret police is running for kill ccp`s against people

    china = ccp killed extraordinary amount of their citizen

    china = evil aggressor nation

    china = enemy of all normal people

  • @77777XYZ i bought ur mother off the street for a buck. fucked her every fucking day. jap dog. i shall shoot u.

  • @77777XYZ

    the thing is people are the same everywhere except their leader,so dont gerenalize the whole nation

    you are nothing but a global citizen,i ask you to show some respect

  • @77777XYZ

    The People's Republic of China is not my enemy. Compared to the 1950s and 1960s they have been quiet in international conflict, and certainly not an aggressor nation. China is more interested in regional issues than global ones, it doesn't have the force projection. China's humanitarian track record is a historically constituted reflection of the absence of the peoples consent of the government. China is not a despot or outlaw nation, they are integrated within the world system.

  • @77777XYZ I have nothing against china. They have done nothing to provoke anyone, they want to help in the debt crisis, and in all, they are a very helpful nation. The middle east on the other hand is full of dictators with small man syndrome who think that they will rule the world with their vietnam era weapons...

  • @wolfy1255 china is a very cruel country when it comes to animals. Hardly ANY laws against animal cruelty. Skinning animals alive? sick. apart from that, i completely agree .

  • @heyaaabceefghl Yeah, I guess the animal cruelty is bad, but hey it's their traditions.

  • I mean really, how cowardly would someone feel if they went face to face with someone on foot while they were in a tank, and then ran them over. How do you not give that guy respect. No matter who he is, if someone by themselves steps up to you when you're in a tank, you think " Oh shit, I can't run this guy over". Nobody touched him. It's crazy.

  • @dekal1 I think the Chinese government later killed the man and then billed his family for the cost of the bullet.

  • YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!..lol...I have the tank man poster in my apartment truly epic

  • He has some balls that's all i can say

  • @dorra111 SOME ???  HUH !!!

  • this is y china doesnt have enemys

  • DID HE GET RAN OVER??

  • this guy has balls. truly a man among mice.

  • if u have time, please pay more attention to the Nanjing Massacre, where over 300,000 people were killed by the Japanese in 1937. Until now, the Japanese government deny that history, and make false statement about that in their history book. Germany had already admitted their crime, but Japan had never done that. some japanese soldiers who participated in the massacre had standed out and confessed. but as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer witness are alive

  • please do critical thinking, dont just follow what other people say, and dont just see a corner of the picture. if u will, find a video about how those innocent soldiers were killed, they were just trying to keep the situation peaceful as some students are becoming more and more violent and ego and trying to make destructions. see if u can find one video of those soldiers. if u cannot, that well explained sth

  • @grapelittlemonky though is true, Tank Man goes further than the actual protest. It talks about standing for what you believe, even if you have 5 massive tank guns right on your head. However, you are right, most of the western media talks about the reassons the students had and what happened to this guy, but most of the eastern media says that Tiananmen Square is just a cool place to spend your weekend so...who has the true story?

  • as a Chinese, student, non-communist, and definitely not anywhere related to politics.students are one of the most violent, most ego group of people on the earth. the western media for thousands of times forward and play this piece of video. but why no one post videos on how those soldiers were burnt to death and hang on the trees by the students? i am not communist, my father is but my mother is not. i think this well explain that in China everyone can has his/her own belief.

  • I come from China. I would say that the Government often to deceive the people. Embargo network. Suppress freedom of speech. Recruitment network commentators distort the facts to justify its beautification

  • ascist atrocities .1989 year in June in China. People and students to fight for democracy and freedom. Against the dictatorship and corruption and dictatorship. Has been the Government to draw large numbers of troops and military vehicles and tanks, machine guns, killing unarmed people and students. Resulted in a large number of students and innocent civilians killed. manufactured bloodshed that shocked the world in June. The Government falsely claimed that no casualties and missing one.

  • Fascist atrocities. Still do not dare to telling the truth. Brainwash the people of

    The Communist Party recruited a large number of Internet commentators. For its beautification and justify. Distort the truth of the incident

  • because you have been oppressed all your life, and are fighting for change

    your lucky to live in a country that allows you to access youtube. that person was standing up for their beliefs.

    think about it, as a tank driver in a parade, as a human, you can just run over someone like that for no good reason.

    its lovely to know where to stand on these sort of issues. you would murder someone who stood up for basic human rights.

  • I did a little research and found out that they ran over other protesters, why not him?

  • because it was just kicking off at this point. when its a riot causing damage, they order in troops. this was 1 man's peaceful protest

    the fact that they ran over people later doesn't justify "I would have flattened him"

  • Remember Tiananmen Square! I'll never forget Wang Wei Lin. His courage is beautiful.

  • I've always wondered what happened to that brave man. He will never be forgotten for his courage.

  • autostop?

  • he has huuuge balls)))

  • of course

  • wtf china has tanks?

  • Chinese resentment against oxidente The Opium War, In European history, it is perhaps the most sordid, base, and vicious event in European history, possibly, just possibly, overshadowed by the excesses of the Third Reich in the twentieth century. By the 1830's, the English had become the major drug-trafficking criminal organization in the world; very few drug cartels of the twentieth century can even touch the England of the early nineteenth century in sheer size of criminality

  • This act of bravery is so inspiring.

  • Mental ?????

  • Shouldn't this happen again, 20 years later but with a convoy of HUMMERs instead of tanks? Since China bought Hummer corp. Yeah, and a lone detroit worker stopping the H1 tanks.

  • That man has some balls.

  • Did the tank kill him?

  • No, but he was taken away by a group of people, possibly police. A lot of people say he was executed after this, i hope he's still alive.

  • That guy deserves a medal. Simple as. If more people acted with the courage he did the world would be a better place.

  • watch?v=47wb1EYArts

    watch?v=2Y6JK6WZi8Y

    watch?v=otTbOxLesg0

  • BTW I wonder if the driver was executed.

  • when i see these images i think of human courage.

    a modern day david and goliath message.

  • he's a true hero. he made more (for me) than all the politicians just talkin about human rights. stand on the front of 3 tanks. he did it. he's a REAL hero of the modern world. he gave me the impression, he's not talking, he did what he had to do!

    i wish them the best if he's alive. and don't forget: one man can change the history.

  • Actually, he stood in front of 17 tanks, in line. But in everything else I agree 100%.

  • CRAP. sorry i gave you a thumbs down =(. anyway i agree with you, 1 man can change history

  • it is impossable to change history....history has happened...thats why it is history...he can change things down the line but never history

  • agreed, that is right, but that man changed the way we lived today

    and im not sure how, but he did

    =P

  • No he didn't.....China is still communist country. and thats what the students wanted to change right? and it didn't change so he changed nothing he is just remember as the guy that stood infront of a bunch of tanks and didn't die because the tank driver was more than likly was ordered not to attack.

  • now that is a true fucking legend right THERE if you think this guy has guts gimme a HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

  • HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

  • HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

  • -_- this man died for the freedom of china's people and i all you guys do is complain about america. because of todays media everyone famous is somehow a jackass,dumbass,or some other stupid thing yes i disagree about the war in iraq but that doesnt mean i want him dead were ALL human we ALL make mistakes but do we deserve to die? Hell No. so you can talk about George Bush all you want to people will just think your a stupid kid who has nonthing better to do i hope this has change some people Ty

  • george bush would have had him shot.

  • Thats hands down to cooliest thing any one has done every.

    fight tthe machines *fist pump*

  • One Love

  • Hero.

  • Socialism rocks! That's why America ppl vote for Obama. Welcome to the socialism era!

  • If you had any idea what Socialism was, you would not accuse Obama of being a socialist. Keep your ignorance to yourself.

  • lol oh and you do? What does socialism mean in your eyes, because the definition of socilism is controlling the people through the goverment, and thats exactly what Obamas doing....

  • Yes I do, you don't. Lets have a little government lesson. Socialism's primary ideas are State controls the means of production and Equality among citizens.

    1.) Yes, under Obama's administration there will be more state control of businesses, but nowhere near enough for it to be called Socialism. No country can ever be 100% capitalist.

    2.) In Socialist countries, the tax rate for the wealthy is 80% or more. Obama's proposed tax hike on wealthy families is 39.6%.It'll never get NEAR 80%.

  • I perfectly agree, with you. And i didn't need that "little government lesson" b/c you practically just rephrased what i just said..... But yes, there is no way obama will be able to make the government socialist, but i am saying that hes trying, am i wrong in saying so? Thank God for democracy, w/o it Obama WOULD love to have a socialist government, he practically talked about it throughout his whole campaign, "Oh Yes, Mr. Plumber, i would love to take money away from the rich, who needs them?"

  • you're not from eastern europa. you dont have idea what socialism really is!

  • the brown shirts from the GW Bush days aren't taking democracy well. Fucking idiots don't even know what "socialism" is, let alone how to spell it. I live in the south, and all I got to say is there must be a whole lot of inbreeding because every one I know who's a republican is so moronic all they can do is repeat that fat fuck Limbaugh.

  • thats coz ur probably a social retard.send ur dad or bro over n ill happily run em down.PRICK

  • He did, The Army got fed up and He just disappeared under one of them.

  • i wasnt born when this happened, but i have been studying this is my pac rim class and im so suprised, the other students they have no clue this even happened. they know nothing. its so sad that they dont..

  • 奴隶制(共产主义),奴隶主(共产党)拥有奴隶(人民)的制度。­奴隶(人民)须为奴隶主(共产党)干活,无报酬,且无人身自由。­法律确认奴隶为奴隶主的私有财产,共产主义跟奴隶制也一样,国家­所有财产归共产党。人民跟本不可能或享受自己生产所得的回报。奴­隶主(共产党)对奴隶(人民)握有生杀予夺的权力,可随意奴役、­杀害。奴隶没有独立的人格,没有任何自由和权利。

  • Brave man not an idiot with virtual courage like someoane from here who visited this video.

  • yeah, not like you.

  • Idiot are you... who made you idiot? If you feel idiot shut up and don't say nothing.

  • dance with the wolves ougango.

  • the person driving the tank is my dad, lol joke. Shopping bag person was pretty brave eh? its probably best his anonymous cause the government will just make an example out of him if you decide to go against it. But you would also have to give credit to the driver, if the driver ran him over then the shopping bag man wouldnt be so brave. We would call it stupidity, thin line between bravery and stupidity. The fate of fame for that man was in the drivers hands. no pun intended

  • pound4pound4 - that is such a profoundly stupid remark.

  • screw that,i agree with you. but u gotta give both of them credit. student for courage and driver for morality

  • he was probably killed later, alot of people died that day

  • My big brother say that man stay in way of tank and after some minutes that tanks had turned back all of.

  • the tanks kept going and the man was executed...

  • yea. he jumped up and talked to the tank commander but it was not known what he said. some police or something grabbed him and took him in the crowd, he was never heard from again

  • He did talk to the tank commander, asked him not to kill his own people. Those tanks were from the Beijing Regional Army, they refused to proceed after this event. The communist leaders had to send troops from other region later that day for the massacre. Nobody knows where this tank man/hero is, but the tank commander was out of the military for good and lost all his pension. He also is someone that we should remember and respect.

  • yea agreed.

    there was a documentury about the tank man.

    sadly i didnt get to see it =(

  • you can see it on you tube

  • The tank man's name is Wang Wei Lin. He was executed. China will never forget him.

  • /watch?v=HkaqNA__6Zk

    check out this, liar

  • and there, priviliged enough to decide part of your faith, and you're writing down a bunch of bullshit, an hymn to arrogance and amoralism. Eat a toxic loan instead.

  • THE POWER OF ONE!!!!!!!

  • This image gave me goosebumps back then, and still today. This student is very passionate in his message and his bravery is demonstrated in these images. I would like to have this as a poster in my house. Anyone know if any such thing is available?

  • read alot of comments that i don't understand cause i only have a very vague idea of what happened at Tiananmen, but i would like to say that this is one of the most powerful symbols of our days' heroism. i am so impressed by the power of a simple human being: no matter what happened to him or why he did it, he made that big tank hesitate on its way.i think it's simply heroic

  • hes a legend

  • After a few minutes, people pulled him into the crowd where he got lost in a sea of people. Nobody knows what really happened to him, and it's for the best that he remains nameless, probably. Just a nameless man who walked out onto the street to be brave.

  • forgive my ignorance, but I thought after failing to get him to move they ran him over? regardless, that man is a hero

  • He is alive.  Lived in same place and was interviewed couple years ago.

  • i remember seeing this and thinking how brave he was, it touched my soul and has remained an image that shaped my younger life.

  • wow what is that guy holding?

  • i'll never forget the day this happened. you only get so many powerful images during your lifetime and this is one for me

  • betcha china hates you. racist fucker

  • that was a reply to jcp

  • ahhh jpk

  • no one really gives a crows balls to who you hate. go lick a rat.

  • He´s a hero

    is he dead?

  • some people say he was executed some people say he managed to escape the country

  • Hero

  • "The time for the Chinese government to provide the fullest possible public accounting of the thousands killed, detained, or missing in the massacre that followed the protests is long overdue," Sean McCormack said in a statement on the eve of the 19th anniversary of what China has called the "June Fourth incident."

  • yea he was later arrested and then he was murdered in prison

    isnt that sad?

    hes crrraaazzzy

  • I thought nobody knew for sure?

  • well im pretty sure because my english teacher knows just about everything and she said she did a project on it in college so yea

  • aah, what I heard is that it is not officially confirmed, but it is assumed that he was captured and killed

  • The problem with that information is no one knows his name so that is hearsay. There was a complete communication blackout, and the official count of how many that died is still unclear so to just say something like that is bull. No offense, but nobody knows what happened after foreign media really shut their cameras off. That media tried to keep taking photos, but only some of that could be smuggled so your teacher is lying.

  • Did he survive afterwards?

  • Yes he did. Some man came out and dragged him out of the way for fear that he would have been crushed.

  • What happened to him? did he survive??

  • Yes he did. Some man came out and dragged him out of the way for fear that he would have been crushed.

  • The reason this guy did this is becasue he knew the tank would not go over him. His is not stupid, but those who believe that this event is that simple are toooo stupid. If these were Amierica's or Britain's tank, would he still do that? China's army is cute and never hurt their people!! These students at that time were too immature and used by American assholes.

  • Fucking Brave!

  • dinimani

    uhh...no.that man was carrying shopping bags because he just went shopping when the tanks decided to run the students down. he was not trying to give them food.the tanks were trying to avoid him.

  • oh really...spellbinding!

  • .........

  • fuck u

  • ever heard of the chelsea-grint?

  • I notice BBC and Australia have reported the large scale pro-China protests.

    However US medias, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, are still blacking out on such news. New York Times arrogantly claims all Chinese are simply brainwashed.

    It saddens me to see Americans are hardened by prejudice and propaganda.

  • I AM SPARTACUS!

  • he was murdered in a prison.

  • A true hero of the 20th century, will we ever get to know this brave mans name?

  • Wang Weilin

  • that may not actually be his name.

    it's rumored to be so. but there isn't sufficient evidence to prove whether or not that was his name.

    it isnt even clear whether or not the man was arrested, executed, or is still alive today.

  • ... he lives in the U.s and is in some kind of human rights organization, I dont know why so many people gave negative votes to the other person on here who said that, I think they thought he was trying to be sarcastic but its the truth

  • Tankman!!! a real hero in our lifetime.

  • they couldve ran straight over him jackass ozzy is stupid anyways ..

  • a bat can't really hurt anyone. actually, a tank can.

  • I love this guy, he got me paying so much respect!

  • if you watch one of the other videos they show more this guy got balls he jumps on top of the tank curses them out at walks away

  • no he lived

  • That guy is a hero! if you belive it or not: it does exist people who are ready to be hurting for the commonweal.

    And No he didn´t crushed but almost 2000 students and worker die for hope of freedom and more democracy in china.

  • hes very brave and you should respect him

  • someone did get crushed by a tank right? i saw a picture. i know it wasn't this guy, he's still alive. this shining example of democracy = yes.

  • I have been looking around for the video of the guy who was crushed...maybe it was at a school or something but I remember it from when I was younger. I saw the video with my own two eyes.

  • There was a couple people crushed by tanks

  • In this famous clip there TWO heroes: the other one is in the tank.

  • he's probably unknown because they executed him. anyone know if they killed him for sure?

  • so did he get run over?

  • nope.. some say he was executed, some say ppl saved him...

  • From what I understand, the Chinese Government ordered for him to be run over. They cut the broadcast before he was run over.

  • He was picked up by people in the crowd and wisked away. The problem is we don't know if they were actual protesters, or officials placed there to control the crowd.

  • its people like that who make me believe we arent going to fuck up this world

  • The media said he was exacuted.

    China says he is alive.

    Who is he and where is he now.

    The hero of China

  • DEMOCRACY IS STRONGER THAN TANKS

  • Courage and rebellion agaist the goverment can demolish communism and open a door to freedom. Thanks for doing that unknown chinesse guy. =) Hope your well

  • Rofl comparing this to Kent State. This was on a MUCH MUCH larger scale.

    And no one knows for sure what happened to the guy afterwards, but he "knew" that the tank wouldn't simply roll over him in the front of dozens of cameras and photographers.

  • deep respect!

  • very brave and crazy guy. i appreciate his bravery and foolishness.

  • This man is an icon of the 20th century, not just for china, but for everyone. He selflessly risked his life to stand up for what he believed in. One man can stop a line of that many tanks, the image is very humbling. If you dont respect this man, please kill yourself.

    Oh and he wasnt killed by the tank, no one knows for sure what happened to him

  • He was arrested the next day and 2 days after he was executed

    Im reading a book about this.

  • Don't worry. Chances are he was arrested, tortured and killed.

  • for hitchhiking?? what a world.

  • He was killed.

  • He was killed.

  • Hahaha

  • yea, thats the hope!
