An Icon, and Then He's Gone by John M. Glionna
No one in [China] has ever seen the images [of the confrontation between a young man and the state's tanks on the Avenue of Eternal Peace, adjacent to Tiananmen Square]. In fact, no ordinary Chinese beyond the protesters and soldiers involved even knows of the standoff. Even today, Chinese can't see the famous photograph, even on the Internet. Attempts to download the picture are blocked by the government. (Registration required)
