Conquering fear

Remember the man who stood in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square? Did you know that he moved in front of the tanks, as the tanks moved to get around him, daring them to run over him? Did you further know that he actually climbed up on the tank? Furthermore, did you know that there was not one, not four, but scores of tanks lined up against him?

I read somewhere that the Chinese government executed the crew in the lead tank because they didn't go ahead and run over the protester.
