For those complaining about the quality, it's taken from a german game magazine, thus the low res. Yes, I'm the one who sent it in. I found it after doing some cleaning up and looking at older magazines and it got me a good laugh. I like that kind of humor.

Re: Look familiar?

Hmm China is one of the few countries (and big countries) which is still Communistic. With the rising market of them I wonder what they will do with it... I hope it isn't a WW 3.. Though I speculate.

Anyways, it was a peaceful protest, until the army opened fire at a massed protest on Tiananmen Square, more than a 1000 students died. Only to get democratic rights. Now, this is 16 years ago, and if they did this, I wonder what will happen when the leader becomes rich. I think he's a maniac. As far as I know, the Chinese leader is still the same as the one who gave orders to the shooting of the students back in 1989.

Re: Look familiar?

okay i lived in hk all my life. Err the guy didnt' die, he jsut got arrested to prision, like the most of them. And please know more about history, I live in Hk and i know about the revolutionary war, war of 1812, worldwar1, worldwar 2, cuban missle crisis. Also the guy who was ruiling died, hmm like a long time ago, at least a few years back. The guy was also not a manic... he is still been given great respect in China. China will also never start a war, at least not with the us, since you guys depend too much on us for production, and we depend on you guys to get money. Moreover hal of china is still in porverty.

Re: Look familiar?

Phhht knowone knows what happened to him, although it is likely he was executed

i thought they just ran him over right there. maybe i recall it wrong...

Re: Look familiar?

They didn't run over him. That's why the image is so enduring. He held up the column of tanks for a long time eventually being taken away by other students. No one really knows what happened to him. He certainly wasn't arrested or killed at the time. There are stories about him still being in hiding. China has never officially said anything about it.

Re: Look familiar?

He was crushed by the godamn tank guys... Do you think that kind of military cares about one measly life? Yeah right man.

No he wasnt crushed by the tank, after standing there for a few minutes a bystander rushed him away.

Take a closer look, there are two heros in this picture, the man standing there defying authority and the tank driver himself who could have easly kept driving.

Re: Look familiar?

[quote=CommanderD][quote=midgetmarine]no he wasn't i saw him on tv the other day

if you notice the avatar. That is the cap badge of the english regiment in hong kong at that time we was watching the situation unfold in china there is no way that man could of been killed far to high profile[/Q

what dont you get, he was EXECUTED!! It was on the BBC my parents remember! Its on the video of 1989 in focus.

' In a speech to the President's Club in 1999, Bruce Herschensohn — former deputy special assistant to President of the United States Richard Nixon and a member of the President Ronald Reagan transition team — reported that he was executed 14 days later; other sources say he was killed by firing squad a few months after the Tiananmen Square protests. In Red China Blues: My Long March from Mao to Now, Jan Wong writes that the man is still alive in hiding in mainland China'


From Wiki, he was killed and this whole topic is bringing back bad memories I myself am going to China on an exchange you dont know how much the place has changed if you started going 'comie scum I wonder if a blackhawk will come or someone will tank whore' they will take so much offence. China is a different place now, if you ever see Shanghai it will look like any other modern Asian city.

american politicans also said that saddam was dead

but wait aren't they holding him now
