Here’s another pic of Tank Man to give you greater perspective — he was willing to stand up to the full might of the Chinese military.
(As an aside, this picture is often referred to as an “uncropped” version of the iconic pic but that’s not true — it’s from a different photog)
Whenever I’m asked who my heroes are, there’s one I always try to include: an unknown Chinese man who stood up to the Communist military, groceries in hand.
This week is 30 years since Tank Man showed the world what bravery is.
His fate is still unknown.
