Description Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks the morning after the Chinese military forcibly removed protestors from in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989. The man achieved widespread international recognition due to the videotape and photographs taken of the incident.

Type-59 tank will becomes the hardest rock that could not be thrown by the western. And thanks by these "antagonists", PRC can go for her own.

To evolute the nation, firstly to evolute the humanity. Fail so, it's just a political joke with blood.

One man stands
Hard as he waits for freedoms hand
A unified voice
For freedom of choice
One man stands
For life
He'll give his
Would you give yours to fight for a cause
