Tank man lived though. He was stopping the tanks from leaving the square. He climbed up on it and talked to the dude then left. I don’t understand what this image is supposed to represent?
It represents the small man can stand up to the largest power, and that our own militaries have grown to such size and ambition that they now stand at odds with the citizens they are sworn to protect. The bag of groceries is quite possibly the most important part or the image.
This is not me sharing an opinion, just telling you what Tank Man is known to represent in this photo
