Lest we forget — Tiananmen Square 25 years

June 3, 2014

Martial Law was imposed on 4th June 1989.

Some have identified the “Tank Man” as Wang Weilin but this has not been confirmed and his fate is unknown.

Most likely his body died that day – along with thousands of others – when he faced the tanks and he was then hustled away — 5th June 1989.

But the Tank Man of Tiananmen Square is now immortal.
