    He did not. There are lesser known photos showing him leaving the street. I think a lot of people haven’t seen those.

    I’m sure the Chinese government disposed of him if they were able to identify him. But as far as I know he’s never been identified. I hope not. Brave motherfucker.

      i can’t cite a source, but i was under the impression he was widely believed to have been run over by the tanks.

        I think that’s’ one of those “Mandela effect” things. It never happened, but a lot of people believe it did. Our brains take a lot of shortcuts.

        I’ve seen the pictures on Reddit, years ago. After blocking the tank for a while, he walked off the street going left. He was not run over by the tanks in that column at least.
