Great documentary about the Tank Man, if you haven’t seen it. https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-the-tank-man/
Yes I have watched that. Very interesting and thanks for sharing it. I was 24 in 1989 so the leaders of this movement were all around my age. I guess its why I have a special affinity for them. While I was only training to fight the ruskies at the time, these young Chinese were on the front lines really fighting communism. I’ve also met Russian immigrants who were young college dissidents against the Soviet government in the 80’s and they have told me what that was like.
I feel those of my age were the last of the cold war warriors. Sadly since it’s been 30 years since the USSR fell I’m not sure younger people today really understand the threat worldwide communism posed and are more willing to embrace socialism/communism.
