As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests by Chinese students in seek of democracy and economic reform, the New York Times has an amazing article of the accounts of the four different photographers who captured images of the lone man, carrying home bags of groceries, challenging a column of massive military tanks. This scene is undoubtedly one of the most powerful images of people in pursuit of freedom of the last century. To look at it is to feel a well of emotions at the strength and clarity of this anonymous act of defiance in the face of tyranny and violent brutality. Sadly, the Chinese government still treats the Tiananmen Square protests as something threatening, to be hidden from the citizenry and banned from internet searches. I fear that the defiance in this act is, in many ways, only felt outside of China as it should and does not reverberate through history with the same force behind the curtain of censorship erected, maintained, and continually modernized by the Chinese government.
