This photo of a Chinese man stepping in front of a bunch of military tanks in Tiananmen Square was taken from the Beijing Hotel’s sixth-floor in 1989. The area the man was standing on was the sight of a horrible massacre that occurred a day earlier when Chinese troops attacked democracy demonstrators. To this day, no one knows the identity of the mysterious man who boldly stepped in front of the tanks, but he became a symbol of the resistance movement.
