Nearly 20 years ago this photograph was taken. To me it’s a testament of courage and will power. It gives me hope that even in the face of atrocity and oppression one can say “Fuck that, enough is enough.”
And yet many young people in China don’t recognize this picture. And don’t know what happened 20 years ago, thanks to censorship. If you wonder why you heard about more filtering of Twitter, Facebook and Blogs in China last week - this is it.
