  Guardian | The price of dissent
Wang Weilin, the young man who stopped the tanks in Tiananmen Square, has disappeared from sight, though not from history.

 Wang Weilin
In all probability--although his image and his actions were broadcast on almost every television around the world, although the photograph of his one immortal moment appeared in every major magazine in the United States--the name is an unfamiliar one even to the most avid follower of the news.
Wang Weilin was the man who stood unflinching in front of a convoy of tanks moving their way up the ironically named 'Pathway of Everlasting Peace' from Tianamen Square in early June 1989.
Wang Weilin is one person who displayed that courage beautifully when it was required from him; it is on the shoulders of people like him that the future rests.

Attempts were made during and after the suppression of the demonstration to arrest and prosecute the student leaders of the Chinese democracy movement, notably Wang Dan, Chai Ling and Wuer Kaixi.
Members of the government eventually prepared a white paper on the incident, which was eventually published in the West in January 2001 as the Tiananmen Papers, which gives the government's viewpoint on the protests and was provided by an anonymous source purportedly within the PRC government.
