I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share.

Let them not be forgotten

This is a large album of images from the protests in Beijing in 1989. It gives the historical context for the events leading up to the "tank man" photo, and what happened after.

Warning: blood, gore, visible injuries, death

Thanks for sharing. Every time I see a picture of the Tiananmen Square massacre I get shivers. That man is one of the most amazing icons of resistance against oppression. I like to think of myself as brave but I'm genuinely skeptical if I'd have the courage to stand in front of a tank that way.

Thanks for this. China keeps trying to wipe away this event by having any image deleted. It needs to be reposted and seen often.

There's also this angle

And this - NSFL

Damn malicious AI image generators trying to tarnish the good name of the CCP. Smh. (/s)

It's pretty amazing how they let that guy just harass a tank for several minutes and even climb on it, then just kinda let him be led away by bystanders.

For some reason growing up I think everyone assumed he got ran over or killed?

This man is a fucking hero and deserves to be recognized as such.

This was the photo in my local newspaper when it happened. Source: local paper boy. (Was greyscale)

I've seen lots of pictures of Hong Kong protests, and hear about rent protests in Beijing, but haven't seen many photos like this in Beijing proper in the 21st century. Are they that good at scrubbing the web, or did I just miss them?

You never visited the Wikipedia page before?

Isn't this the classic photo?

All of those tanks are just on patriotic vacation. There is no other reason for them to be there.

That's odd, because that's the photo I immediately think of when the massacre is brought up. I thought it was really well-known.

Permanently Deleted

Is that a picture of John Cena and Drax?

if you believe the us version of the facts, thats probably not the only angle you are missing

AI?
