Tiananmen Square protests of 1989

The Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 picture is a very important to me because it shows that if a 19 year old student can get in front of a tank and stop 3 others from moving on that anybody can do anything what they put their mind to. He put up a statement towards communism; he wanted this entire communism to end.
The protest was mainly led by students and intellectuals, the protests mainly occurred in 1989 when a number of communist governments around the world collapsed. The death of Hu Yaobang basically ignited the protest.  Are the Chinese so different from the Americans? Even American students protested against things they didn’t like.
The Tiananmen Square Protest was a peaceful protest by a student, but in China normally peaceful protesters in China come in a violent end.
