This man represents everything that is courageous, that is fearless, that is brave and that is reckless.
Although I do not know this man but I love him.
It all started in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 where The Unknown Rebel tried to stop the PLA‘s advancing tanks until he was pulled into the crowd by several onlookers. This man was never identified.
This picture moves me and as far as I’m concerned is the picture of the century.
And whenever I watch this video it sends shivers down my spine.
If only we had a fraction of this mans bravery.

the passion to live free is in all of us.. and something those of us who are lucky enough to have this blessing take for granted too often.

Rachel Corrie paid the ultimate price for trying something similar. I don’t know why I was visiting her site today.
This guy was way luckier
are u familiar with fares odeh?
I don ‘t like to refer others to my posts, but I talked about this guy a couple of years ago, check this out, http://hareega.blogspot.com/2005/08/larger-than-life.html
I think we’ve got quite people like this guy.
By the way, this Tiananmen sqaure guy was chosen as one of the most important 100 men in history. They say that he had disappeared! His identity is still unknown.
That picture is extremely famous, and yeah the man is unknown, some say that he was arrested and executed in discreet.
Heroine Rachel Corrie that Qwaider mentioned showed the same courage if even more, also lots of Palestinian kids have had several encounters with tanks like these.
