From history to a paper....

                     At school, I really liked about history, universal one, the second world war, the Roman empire, the "Gold era" of Greek, all those things were super interesting for me, well, now too, but on this time I saw many of the History channel documentaries, at morning, afternoon and early morning; and some of those historical facts were filmed or photographed, like the one I like the most.

"The man of the tank"

                    My father told me about this picture when I was a child, I dont remember about my reaction, but I think it was like "what is he doing?". This event was nearly the 90', to be more specific, on the 5 of july, of 1989, on the Popular Republic of China, at the Tiananmen square, on Beijing, this picture was taken by 3 photographers from the Beijing hotel, one day after the Chinese government started to suppress violently the democratic protests on China.

While the tanks started to move, this misterious man put himself in front of the tank column, the first tank tried to avoid the guy, but he moved to the direction of the tank, so after some attempts the tank driver showd himself and both of them started to talk, there are some speculations about what they talk, like "why you are here?", "go away, stop killing my people", but after some seconds a group of people moved away the man.

                    There are many assumptions about what the man was, like a young student, part from a secret group, but in spite of what he was, the courage to be rigth there, in front of the "Power of China" have to be really high to do that. That is why I like it, the power of the courage.
