"that famous photo of the Tiananmen Square protester confronting a tank?
they ran him over"
It seems that some like to rewrite history to fit their narrative.
From Wikipedia (link below):
"The "Tank Man", as it became known, became one of the most iconic photographs in the 20th century. As the tank driver tried to go around him, the "Tank Man" moved into the tank's path. He continued to stand defiantly in front of the tanks for some time, then climbed up onto the turret of the lead tank to speak to the soldiers inside. After returning to his position in front of the tanks, the man was pulled aside by a group of people. "
And
"There is no reliable information about the identity or fate of the man; the story of what happened to the tank crew is also unknown." ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man )
