Statement from Stuart Franklin on the back of print 'The tank man'. Tiananman Square, Beijing, China. June 4, 1989.
"In June, 1989, following the Beijing massacre, a man stepped into the path of a row of tanks leaving Tiananmen Square and into the history books. It was an unexpected act of defiance. Courageous too. More than thirty years on there's still a great deal we don't know: what became of the man, why he was carrying two shopping bags, and the nature of his exchange with the tank driver. One day I hope we'll know more."
