05 June 1989,
A man stood before a bunch of tanks in Beijin, China. The day before the army brutally emptied Tiananmen Square. Students who were mobilized against corruption, inflation and many abuses from a month before and were on hunger strike. The resistance of the protesters led to the violence of the army that was unwilling to deal with this type of urban pacifist movements (they had only firearms). They caused many deaths and injuries. The tank tried to pass by the side of the person, but the shopping bags were placed on each hand until the convoy remained on his way. He went up over the tank, said something to the soldiers and left.
