The Tiananmen Square crackdown of Chinese citizens by the army in 1989 giving me some puzzle as to why this person want to become a rebel . This protester is assumed to has being executed for stopping the movement of the army tanks.
What is he willing to dead for is a honour for us to remember
so mankind can always look in front with determination.
All opinions are welcome .

That protester was not forgotten. That was a live, visible act of a man literally standing up and willing to give his life for his beliefs.
We will be forgotten, but that man will live forever in history. We're still talking about David and Goliath, but nobody knows if that really happened, there is visual proof that this " David "
really was a living man.
I salute that man.

There is no greater honour then dieing in battle, even when it is a political battle. If there is a problem, and people stand and hold posters.. no one cares. When those protesters stand in front of tanks.. people turn heads. When an unarmed protester is fighting for civil rights and is killed my the military... countries stop and look and then question is this the sort of thing they would want to be remembered by..

that protester is remembered around the world....(at least in those countries which have a free press!) as an example of the old saying, 'for evil to triumph it is merely necessary that good men do nothing."
One guy in front of a tank does nothing.
100,000 students in a square does nothing but scare the leaders so badly they send in the tanks and kill thousands.
THE WORLD'S INDIFFERENCE to this all has done nothing and made their sacrifice, so far, in vain.
But if ENOUGH people remember that:: it is what they as individuals do that alters history; and if they can defy bans on assembly and talk and freedom of the press, if they have a little courage.......
well, 5 million standing in front of a tank is a whole 'nother story.
All credit to the people in Venezuela this week who didn't like where their country was going and turned out to do something about it despite intimidation.
All discredit to those who still buy goods "Made in China" and don't see the blood on them.

"We" do not want to stand in front of a tank. A dead hero is just that: Dead. Not much you can do from the grave. He did not stop anything, just that one tank, because the driver had a conscience. But other then that, he caused the government to be even more upset and take harsher repression matters.
Dead is dead. It seems more could be accomplished by writing or speaking. His name is probably forgotten by now.

To say that this protestor is forgotten is to say that Guy Falwkes is forgotten ,or Dred Scot, or John Brown, or Abe Lincoln, or Rosewood, or Rosa Parks, or MLK, Jr, or Bobby Kennedy, or all the others who have tried, or died trying to find justice and freedom.
We DO remember! We remember every Memorial Day, every Veterans Day, every 4th of July. We should remember every single day.
BTW, what WAS that guy's name? Was he married? Did he have a family?

The protester is now forgotten, he was an idiot and proved absolutely nothing.
