The tank man

I saw a documentory about 'Tianamen square' today. The impression I had of China, its people and the government changed totally. What is most surprising is the fact that there are very few people in this world who know about "The Tank Man". What is even more astonishing is that this super soul and a source of inspiration for generations is quite forgotten in China itself and the reason behind this is the planned govenment attack on the freedom of the Chineese people or rather their perception of it.
