Re: 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests

This is a short video, but its the message behind it that count's. The man in the video, whether it was a student no more older than I, or a factory worker...was a brave individual who held up a column of tanks in Tiananmen square. It was the day after a brutal massacre of students/factory workers/and other protesters. The Chinese military decided to roll out their tanks for god knows what reason, to possibly kill the rest of them[its still not fully clear why.] Then seemingly from nowhere stepped out this man. He was carrying two bags and stood there motionlessly. The whole line of tanks stopped, and turned off their motors....but the front one decided to move. Instead of hitting the man...the tank tried to go around him, but he stepped in front of the tank. They continued to do this until the tank stopped dead, and the man climbed up on top on the front tank. He proceeded to bang viciously on the door, screaming out..."Leave my country" in Canto. Eventually the column of tanks/soldiers went back into their military base, and the "Tank man", was never seen again.

Give peace a chance!!!
