Tank Man

Origin
A man who stood in front of a column of tanks on June 5, 1989, the morning after the Chinese military had suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 by force, became known as the Tank Man or Unknown Protester. The tanks maneuvered to pass by the man, and he moved to continue to obstruct them, in something like a dance. The incident was filmed and seen worldwide.

Currently, there is no reliable information about the identity or fate of the tank man.
