An indelible image of courage, one lone protester facing down a tank in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, June 1989. He would become known simply as 'Tank Man' or 'The Unknown Rebel'. The massive student protests were brutally put down on June 4th when the Chinese army attacked with tanks and trucks, firing indescriminately at the unarmed protesters, killing and injuring thousands. The Unknown Rebel confronted the tank column next day as the army withdrew. Neither his identity nor his fate have ever been established, reported by some to have been executed, and by others to be still alive. This music comes from the CD 'Image Conscious', music loosely hung on enduring news images. Music and video by Plug.
Due to numerous requests this video and the music track (with high quality stereo sound) is available in iPod format FREE! at:

  • @mrsxierox9 :( I realize you're trying to be funny but that's not right for this video. That man is a hero. He could have died for his bravery to help his country and save his friends and family. A video about someone like that is no place for jokes :(

  • Damn this governments shit

  • @Kingleopold789 well you know,we can't just judge the video by its music nor the editing.these disliker people need to fix their point of view to such videos.

  • @fahmip I think they just dislike the music/editing.

  • that 176 dislikers have no guts nor brain.how they could easily hit that F-ing dislike button for this hero?i just don't really understand them.

  • @supaflyy90 see, its people like you that makes my decision of running a tank over somebody much easier

  • @MrEviloreo You either have moral issues or you're just a bad driver.

  • Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery. - Wayne dyer

  • Holding up traffic. I hate when I'm driving down the street and somebody just blocks my tank.

  • @ssssssssssurvey Good for your bravery, but remember: GANDHI and M.L. KING, among others. If you´re looking for the truth, then read about them and about non-violence, because there´s no need for more blood in the world. There´s another way of making a revolution :) Good luck!

  • @eeiko321 Exactly! In China the Orwells´ 1984 DID came true...

  • @scoot24925 Do not understand your response.
