Tienanmen Square: Then and Now












Tienanmen Square 1989

To this day, the identity and fate of the man in the picture remain unclear...no one knows for certain who he is or what exactly happened to him. The image is largely blocked on the Internet in China. Despite its iconic status and historical significance elsewhere, most young people there do not recognize the photograph.

So much progress.

So far to go....
