    I was in an international school, in occupied Hong Kong, right after it happened.

    I remember my teacher showing us the tank man photo on the front page of the South China Morning Post.

    I remember him telling us to think about (i.e. assume) what would happen next to that brave man.

    I remember it vividly, because I was an 8-year-old being told by a trusted adult to imagine a man being run over by a tank. I wouldn’t see the actual tank man video and find out what really happened next for nearly 2 decades.

    Fucking wormtongue ghouls.
