It never ceases to amaze me that a single person and come along and change the world.
This person inspired millions by standing up, literally. It isn't even known who this person is, but this act, this picture inspired a whole country to stand up...and continues to influence the world.
In 1989, Communist China dealt with a huge pro-Democracy demonstration in Tianamen square. Martial Law and a force of 300,000 were sent in to quell the demonstrations. After the army takes control this man, fed up, stood up to these tanks in a final act of defiance, but his story and inspiration live on.
It inspires me to believe I can stand up for what I believe in.
What happened to him, the man that stood in defiance of the tanks' purpose?
