The tank man image is virtually unknown within China due to censorship!

The “tank man” is the nickname of an anonymous man who stood in front of Chinese tanks the day after their military forcibly removed protestors from Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.


The picture was taken on June 5, 1989, by Jeff Widener of the Associated Press. The image became famous as an international symbol that the Cold War era was over. The man was identified as Wang Weilin, but it has never been confirmed. The Chinese government reports they cannot find the man anywhere.
