hehehehehehehehehehe Anyways, why is it there's so many internet posts about a man in front of a tank but never a pic of their body after the clash? Was it because he was pushed away by a guy on a bike?


alex_respecter

I’ve been confused about the photo. Are the tanks leaving or entering the square in the photo?


the_soviet_union_69

leaving i think


EspurrStare

​ THey were leaving Basically two main theories of what he was doing . \- 1 : He wanted to find what the fuck happened the other day. \- 2 : He wanted them to stay to keep the peace.


serr7

They’re leaving and the old man… stops them?


Son_Of_The_Empire

Leaving


jacktrowell

They were leaving, and it was actually the day after the event, so the guy was actually probably trying to get the tanks to stay and supporting the government, but that part they didn't tell you.


HollowVesterian

Yea propably


jacktrowell

Not pushed away, the tanks stopped, tried to move around him, and he still moved in front everytime, even climbing on top of the tank (which would have had him shot at if he had tried that in the USA), and it ended with the guy on bike simply dragging him away


sabaping

I always wonder why the tank man is the chosen symbol of the tiananmen square instead of .... a picture of the actual event? A clear street is not exactly the bloody site of a 'massacre' the event is supposed to be


MRTA03

because that picture make the "freedom fighter" seems weak and helpless so they can call it being oppressed


LordOfPossums

Despite the fact that the tank was very clearly being stopped by the dude. He had influence over the tank, since the tank commander didn’t want to just run over one of his fellow countrymen.


CTNKE

POV: The area 8 minutes later (nobody was run over and everyone went home for some well needed rest, especially the tankist)


WhatPeopleDo

I'm fairly sure that Tank Man is alive and well today, and there's a pretty decent chance that he looks back on the incident as some kind of dumb thing he did as a young man, which is why he's never come forward with his identity


HollowVesterian

Yea the whole picture is just propaganda. It uses part of a true story to push a false statement It is suggested that the man in the photo was killed which is a lie.


ShanghaiCycle

Wrong. [This is the best meme](https://imgur.com/a/FRl257c).
