I don't remember did he die. Side note from a coworker from China, there were tanks in other areas of China were there weren't cameras. People were apparently killed.

But this picture was about aposing the government. The tanks were going to run him down. (I'm not sure if they did....most likely they did :/ )
Maybe you should do your research before commenting? And that's the point, he's opposing a government by standing in front of machines that could easily kill him, and risking being jailed or worse afterwards...which takes balls...
