- Title: Tiananmen Square, "Tank Man"
- Artist: Suspects the Butterfly

Description:
China, Beijing's Tiananmen Square, June 1989: With a single act of defiance, a lone Chinese hero revived the world's image of courage. A small, unexceptional figure in slacks and white shirt, carrying what looks to be his shopping, posts himself before an approaching tank, with a line of 17 more tanks behind it. He would become known simply as "Tank Man" or "The Unknown Rebel".

- I agree with Zee Half Blood Prince. This is such a notable character in history. His memory and bravery should not be forgotten.
