Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most iconic image from the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China was unquestionably that of the anonymous "Lone Protestor," also known as "Tank Man," who stood alone in front of a column of tanks as they rolled into the Square. The man was ultimately pulled from his position by a couple of people whose identities have also never been ascertained. The protestor's fate remains a mystery - general consensus is that he was executed shortly after the incident or lived on in anonymity. China's strict media censorship in 1989, which persists to the present day, may have kept the protestor himself in the dark regarding his international fame.
