I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share.

    The wikipedia page doesn’t have any version of this image. Regardless, the most shared images are closer up and from the ground, showing about 5 tanks, not this version with 50 tanks. The image of him sitting in front of a few tanks was the most widely used I believe.

    This is common

    So is this

    If I remember correctly, the version OP posted was newly found/released only a few years ago. E: this is what I was thinking of.

        Thanks for the link, but it still doesn’t have this picture.

          You just have missed the section where it showed that photo.

            Nope, OP’s picture is not shown there. Only a picture that was taken earlier.

              It’s quite obvious now that you didn’t even view the Wikipedia page of tank man and look at the other photos
