Description: An indelible image of courage, one lone protester facing down a tank in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, June 1989. He would become known simply as 'Tank Man' or 'The Unknown Rebel'. The massive student protests were brutally put down on June 4th when the Chinese army attacked with tanks and trucks, firing indescriminately at the unarmed protesters, killing and injuring thousands. The Unknown Rebel confronted the tank column next day as the army withdrew. Neither his identity nor his fate have ever been established, reported by some to have been executed, and by others to be still alive. This music comes from the CD 'Image Conscious', music loosely hung on enduring news images. Music and video by Plug.

Xadreos ::: Favorites u morons...this guy was sticking up for his people. He called the tanks on, asking them why they were attacking their own countrymen. While the government and the tanks were in the wrong, he was the only one brave enough to do the right thing, and he held up the tanks long enough for many to escape and not get blown apart...amen to this guy 07-09-27 22:48:08 __________________________________________________ | |
snaresoul ::: Favorites Actually, the police dragged him away. That's why no one ever found out who he was or what happened to him. Some people believe he was executed, others believe he's still alive today. 07-09-25 08:07:13 __________________________________________________ | |
