That guy had balls of steel !

Like a lot of people, when I first heard of it I didn't believe it. I just didn't believe the Chinese army would fire on their own people. From what I've read, the students in Tiananmen Square thought at first it was a bluff.

That is an incredible video. I cannot even begin to understand the bravery it took for someone armed with nothing more than two shoping bags to not only just stand there, but to keep his position whenever that tank turned. Does anyone know what happened to him?
