Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man(Wang Weilin) who became internationally famous when he was videotaped and photographed during the protests at June Forth Massacre in China on June 5, 1989.
Several photographs were taken of the man, who stood in front of a column of tanks, preventing their advance. One of the most widely reproduced versions of the photograph was taken by Jeff Widener of the Associated Press from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel.
The Unknown Rebel
The still and motion photography of the man standing alone before a line of tanks reached international audiences practically overnight. It headlined hundreds of major newspapers and news magazines and was the lead story on countless news broadcasts around the world. In April 1998, Time magazine included the “Unknown Rebel” in its feature entitled Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
