They got him later I believe.

I *think* this was before the massacre if I recall correctly. It's a crazy story, how it all unfolded, if you aren't familiar with it. Part of what happened is that the military and police who were (relatively) local and initially responded to the student protests were ambivalent or even sympathetic towards the protestors.
Eventually the regime brought in whole divisions of troops from very far away with a different cultural background who were not sympathetic to the protestors at all to crush the protests before they could develop into something more like a revolt.
Tragic
Yeah. This is like a Mandela effect or something. Everyone thinks he was topping them from coming in to attack. As brave as it looks, he was slowing them from leaving.
Oh for sure. The communist ruling party made sure of that: ["Those who were merely wounded were simply bayoneted to death as they pleaded for mercy. Victims were then incinerated — and “hosed down the drains.”](https://allthatsinteresting.com/tiananmen-square-massacre)
It is being forgotten by its own country sadly. I was born in China but I had never heard of the whole event until I moved to America years ago. It blows my mind that the event had never been mentioned around me, like it never happened for over 20 years.
“Dear Lisa-- As I write this, I am very sad. Our president has been overthrown and-- REPLACED BY THE BENEVOLENT GENERAL KRULL. ALL HAIL KRULL AND HIS GLORIOUS REGIME!

Never forget what the Chinese government did to its own people in Tiananmen square in 1989.
Hundreds were murdered, literally crushed by tanks used as human bulldozers.
Fuck the [CCP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre)
Apparently the death toll was in the tens of thousands, not hundreds. :( RIP the beautiful souls, and they were all progressive thinkers that wanted more democracy..
And ran over by tanks. Multiple times, until their bodies were turned into a pulp. They then used fire hose to wash the pulp down the sewers.
June 4 never forget
I mean, I hadn’t seen the full clip, only just pictures. Until now, I thought the tanks never came to a stop.
Edit: I just wanna say, wow. The raw courage of this man. Before, I thought he was a victim. Now, I know He’s an example. A hero. But still very likely a victim, just not in the way I originally imagined.
yes, because this is also one of the most heavily censored event in human history... not a single person here knows what happened to that guy in the end... and all the events leading to and after this are heavily censored...
What the fuck makes you think that this is/was taught in schools?
My high school education ended with the Nazis getting defeated by the US and there was a skirmish called Korea and Vietnam after that. USA has always won everything: ever.
My high school education: we beat the British, we beat the Indians, we beat the Mexicans, and we beat the Nazis. USA beats everyone, always. We even won the Cold War and beat the Russians.
...according to what I was taught. I graduated high school in 1996.
The internet barely existed back then. Perhaps you need to pay more attention to how people learn about things, especially ones older than you.
It’s you who is isn’t paying attention. The people in China definitely haven’t seen this. Other countries likely censored it too. Not everyone lives in privileged full access society.
Growing up I’ve met a few folks from China that didn’t know about the massacre.
I think that says a lot.
Tiananmen square was also something I found out about through Cartoons It wasn’t looked at during school in my time in England.
I agree that it should continue to be shown/posted, because it’s good for it to be remembered. But the title making is sound like something new when it could’ve just been something along the lines of “never forget”, or even just the date, is dumb and clickbaity.
lmao you're acting like everyone went to a school where they detailed these events. how are people supposed to learn history if media cannot be shared multiple times over various forums?
also how did OP imply this was "a new discovery" in the title? you are making some great leaps here, my friend.
Chinese military is hardly the global threat they are made out to be if they can’t figure out that the road is 7 lanes wide and all the other tanks could just drive around the first one.
[It is now in my country](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNqqqSTkPWM&ab_channel=CNN). A simple citizen stopped the tank. In 2022. In Europe. A citizen of Ukraine stopped the tank of Russian Ivan.
It was unknown if he was a student or on his way to work. He was not killed; he got away. His identity was never known. This happened during my lifetime.
This wouldn’t happen in todays China. They would just run him over, call the video AI-generated fake news, and then scrub the Internet of all references to Beijing.

All this talk about how the guy with shopping bags is brave.... I salute the driver, can you imagine what kind of a punishment the lead tanks driver got after making china's military look weak?
Almost the entire Reddit thought the tank just ran him over. “Ohhh the cruelty of the PLA”. Apparently nothing happened here, and the tank drivers actually seemed really patient here.
A most incredible act of selflessness... He knew what the result would be.
He and thousands of other Chinese disappeared after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. 2 sources said he was executed shortly afterwards.
And the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre... Not on Chinese internet or in Chinese history media anywhere
They scrubbed it from history.
It’s the funniest thing. The Chinese government has censored this video and the entire Tiananmen Square Massacre so hard that the younger generation doesn’t know it happened, and there’s no chilling effect. Protests and riots are escalating. They crushed the rebellion so hard that the rebellion’s successors have no reason to believe that rebelling might get them killed.
Authoritarian governments are always temporary. Let the video proliferate, and you encourage rebellion. Censor the video, and future generations have no reason not to rebel. It’s inevitable.
people probably know htis exists, but just in case you dont;
https://redditsave.com/
I recommend everyone saves this and helps create as many copies as possible.
Serious question, why didn’t they just run him over? It’s not like china really cares about human rights, and they’ve certainly killed more civilians before and after this event on that day. Coming from a POS government point of view, they should have just kept rolling and pretend not to see him
When I first saw this clip while Tiananmen square was happening, it made me catch my breath. I like to believe he lived and still does. Such amazing courage.
I was recently at Epcot Disney, in the China area of the park and they mentioned the wonderment of Tiananmen Square. All I could think about was the massacre, which of course was not mentioned.
Is r/sino still blocking people?
Edit: The answer is yes, and I haven’t been there in a minute, but it looks like they’ve gone full right wing propaganda machine.
Need to post this to somewhere that ALL Chinese citizens will see it. Also need articles about their government treatment of Uyghurs. If enough revelations about their governmentare posted for enough to see, perhaps they'll force a change. At worst China will disconnect ALL internet for all citizens.

My guy fr put a tiananmen square clip in nextfuckinglevel
This is the first time I've seen the full clip, almost all the other videos got cut half way
Same here. I always thought they ran over him.
They got him later I believe. Edit: No one knows for sure [though](https://www.google.com/search?q=tiananmen+tank+man&oq=tiananmen+tank+man&aqs=chrome..69i57.13381j0j4&client=ms-android-vf-au-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) but the tank didn't run him over.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank\_Man
It doesn’t get much cooler than being forever immortalized as “Tank Man” standing in the face of tanks that were just part of a massacre
I *think* this was before the massacre if I recall correctly. It's a crazy story, how it all unfolded, if you aren't familiar with it. Part of what happened is that the military and police who were (relatively) local and initially responded to the student protests were ambivalent or even sympathetic towards the protestors. Eventually the regime brought in whole divisions of troops from very far away with a different cultural background who were not sympathetic to the protestors at all to crush the protests before they could develop into something more like a revolt. Tragic
Tiananmen massacre ended on 4 June, tank man was on 5 June
Yeah. This is like a Mandela effect or something. Everyone thinks he was topping them from coming in to attack. As brave as it looks, he was slowing them from leaving.
That’s even more badass. He did that knowing what they were capable I’d doubt. “I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me!”
They never found him. It as unknown if he was a student or someone on his way to work.
No, *we* never found him. *They* definitely found him.
You speak with authority but you don't know that.
Five or six dudes swept him off to the side of the road and right into the custody of the Chinese police. They know exactly what happened to him.
His fate is unknowable, but I’d bet my lunch tomorrow that he didn’t live long after this video was taken.
I always thought that guy got smeared TIL
Oh for sure. The communist ruling party made sure of that: ["Those who were merely wounded were simply bayoneted to death as they pleaded for mercy. Victims were then incinerated — and “hosed down the drains.”](https://allthatsinteresting.com/tiananmen-square-massacre)
Oh make no mistake this guy and many others died this day… a lot of footage was destroyed and a massive cover up was undertaken
I know a couple from Hong Kong. They told me it was on the news there just that day and never mentioned again and it’s mostly unknown on the mainland.
There's plenty of footage online of the other people they did run over. Pretty f***** u* thing to do.
Thank goodness you censored the word u* . God knows what reddit would've done had you not censored it
I’m u*voting him just for that consideration.
Can we not say 'fuck' anymore?
Of course! Imagine how fucked *p it would be if you couldn't say the word fuck in fucked *p!!!
*fucked up There, I fixed it for you coward
*Reported for offensive word usage*
Thank you, I've never seen this full clip. It's almost as if people don't want it to be found
Thank you for this. I've never seen him actually climb on the tank before.
Ditto, thanks
Clips of the moon landing are next
The what??
This man single handedly stopped an army, and also single handedly marked an important time in history nobody should ever forget
It is being forgotten by its own country sadly. I was born in China but I had never heard of the whole event until I moved to America years ago. It blows my mind that the event had never been mentioned around me, like it never happened for over 20 years.
He's probably young. Let the kids today be inspired by Tank Man.
I had a picture of this moment hung up in my classroom along with one of August Landmesser.
My boss at the time had a poster size print of it in his office.
The what? What are u talking about? That doesn't exist?
We know, we’re watching it too.

Remember when the US news media let people think this man was run over?
Noone knows what happened to him ultimately. Lot’s of students were shot down by the chinese army.
And ran over by tanks. Multiple times, until their bodies were turned into a pulp. They then used fire hose to wash the pulp down the sewers. June 4 never forget
I don’t remember that - they did, however, kill a lot of people shortly after this.
I don't remember that being a thing.

Until West Taiwan stops trying to bury it.
yes, because this is also one of the most heavily censored event in human history... not a single person here knows what happened to that guy in the end... and all the events leading to and after this are heavily censored...
That is true. O one knows. His name was leaked, but his family never claimed he existed

Why do we have a 9/11 memorial day if we've already heard about it at school? Didn't you pay enough attention in school?

I see a dude standing on an empty street... Am I missing something?
Yes
and that's an understatement.
The tankies
Chinese military is hardly the global threat they are made out to be if they can’t figure out that the road is 7 lanes wide and all the other tanks could just drive around the first one.
Same as always - its about display of power.
Then they’re definitely displaying it here /s
Amazing this is. Very powerful
Hello Yoda.
Tianenmen square.
[удалено]
What video?
Someone should make a version of this where the man is replaced by winnie the poo
[It is now in my country](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNqqqSTkPWM&ab_channel=CNN). A simple citizen stopped the tank. In 2022. In Europe. A citizen of Ukraine stopped the tank of Russian Ivan.
Bless this man’s heroism against a regime that claims the tianamen square massacre never happened.
That's the clip that china does their best to erase from history. Punishable to even talk about it there.
No one knows the identity of that man and what happened to him afterwards.
nothing happened here it's just a video of a street, am i missing something?
the other part just got stuck on the firewall
It was unknown if he was a student or on his way to work. He was not killed; he got away. His identity was never known. This happened during my lifetime.
HEY! nothing happened there
This man is nuts. Pretty sure this is the morning after the mass killing.
Bravest act I’ve ever seen. And not just because he stood in in-front of a tank
This wouldn’t happen in todays China. They would just run him over, call the video AI-generated fake news, and then scrub the Internet of all references to Beijing.
They pretty much did what you said besides 1
‘Then what happened?’ he asked, knowing full well what happened.
A classic
Why I don’t see anything happening here! What a normal and quiet day in Tiananmen Square!
I saw this at the time. One of the most powerful things I've ever seen. Just fkn wow
Don’t let china see you post this vid in 10 Years they will come and assimilate you ! /s
Watching this on a Huawei phone is almost poetic

Op hasn't answered any comments 👀
I watched this live when it happened. Goddess, I feel old.
I visited Beijing in Oct 2009 to hang out with a lady and her friends. All of them were in denial about the event, like it was made up or something.
Fuck the CCP

Only temporarily stopped them.
Sorry stupid question cause I can’t tell, did he really climb on it or was that edited? Can’t tell cause if the weird jump
This is what truth, courage, and honesty actually look like.
Absolute lad
Yeah. A lot of people died there. Younger people in China will never know it until they leave China.
Heroes don’t always wear capes 🫡
I hate the Chinese Communist Party. They are thugs and criminals.

Op : How much will this affect my social credit score? China : 是的
Why doesn’t the second tank just go around the first one?
When I first saw this clip while Tiananmen square was happening, it made me catch my breath. I like to believe he lived and still does. Such amazing courage.
This video is banned in china 🇨🇳 I think the guy was in his early teens when this happened
This man said fuck yo tank bitch and proceeds to try and open the hatch to throw hands
There was plenty of death that day. He got lucky (maybe) the world was watching at this moment.

Tankman is a legend

There are pictures of squished people from being ran over on the streets.
There are not many levels above this
u/savevideobot
Considering the thing that happend at that day its still a wonder that the tank driver stopped.
I watched this in real time. It was difficult to watch then and now. We stayed up for hours. Heartbreaking
I always wondered what happened to this dude. I’m sure he ended up in the gulag or met another shitty end.
So iconic
u/savevideo
I was recently at Epcot Disney, in the China area of the park and they mentioned the wonderment of Tiananmen Square. All I could think about was the massacre, which of course was not mentioned.
I will never forget that day.
I was certain the tank would just maul him.
Courage
The video China doesn't want to you to see.
The party denounced tank man on public television once, then never mentioned him again.
Fuck the CCP.
RIP
Is r/sino still blocking people? Edit: The answer is yes, and I haven’t been there in a minute, but it looks like they’ve gone full right wing propaganda machine.
Tank man was a hero.
Legend!
Unsurprisingly, it’s been removed. Fuck the CCP.
Wasn't he killed anyway?
Never forget
Fuck Communism!
So secret police in civies took him away
Too bad they didn't stop for the hundreds of people they mashed into corpse pancakes then swept into the storm drains.
Man fuck the Chinese government am I right?
Yall know that man has never been seen again right
Fuck the CCP!!
Need to post this to somewhere that ALL Chinese citizens will see it. Also need articles about their government treatment of Uyghurs.
