A Chinese man stands alone to block a line of tanks heading east on Beijing’s Cangan Blvd. in Tiananmen Square on 5th July 1989. What became of this man?

    I think he got way with it. He ran away when they tried to arrest him and hid with the rest of the protesters. Well thats what i head anyway. I hope he is well.
