TIME 100: The Unknown Rebel: "A small, unexceptional figure in slacks and white shirt, carrying what looks to be his shopping, posts himself before an approaching tank, with a line of 17 more tanks behind it. The tank swerves right; he, to block it, moves left. The tank swerves left; he moves right. Then this anonymous bystander clambers up onto the vehicle of war and says something to its driver, which comes down to us as: 'Why are you here? My city is in chaos because of you.' One lone Everyman standing up to machinery, to force, to all the massed weight of the People's Republic "
