I am reading The People's Republic of Amnesia which is about the 1989 Tienanmen Square Massacre (or incident as it is taught in China). For those of us in the West, the image of the tank man is what we think of. Interestingly enough it came after most had already been killed and the question is always, "I wonder what happened to that person." Well, in the video above he didn't die, but he did show a lot of courage. It is entirely appropriate to show your students.
