I'm posting this photo because 35 years later, people in China and Hong Kong can't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre

@brucelawson that still haunts me. I still wonder what happened to that person.

FWIW I saw a talk in 1999 at POPtech given by a Chinese man who claimed to be the tank man. I can't recall his name.

That talk is probably too ancient to be on their YT channel, but I bet there are a lot of talks there you'd enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/@poptech

@skry @brucelawson oh, thank you! I had not heard of this. Also, it’s nice to think he is somewhere and OK after that but how can it ever be verified given the regime at the time
