在中国北京的天安门广场上,一名男子面对一排战争坦克的照片已经成为中国的一个例子。 历史上最著名的照片 这张图片被称为 "坦克人 "或 "无名叛徒",是由美联社摄影师Jeff Widener拍摄的。 那天,摄影师正用相机对准一排坦克,不知从哪里冒出一个身穿白衬衫和深色长裤的人,手里提着似乎是购物袋的东西。 起初,Jeff Widener对这个进入的人很是恼火。他不知道,他即将拍摄历史上最有代表性的照片之一。

那是1989年6月5日,在中国军队开始暴力镇压在广场上待了一个多月的民主抗议者的第二天。 维德纳在北京采访抗议活动一周,在致命的镇压开始时受伤。"6月4日凌晨,我被一块抗议的石头击中头部,我还得了流感,"他说。维德纳。"所以我在北京饭店六楼的阳台上拍摄'坦克人'时,病得很重,伤得很重。"

这家酒店拥有广场的最佳视野,广场现在处于军事控制之下。 一名美国交换学生柯克-马森帮助他进入酒店。 在酒店的阳台上,维德纳看着这个人面对着领头的坦克,就站在他面前。 坦克停下来,试图绕过这个人。 这个人随着坦克移动,再次挡住了他的去路。

在对峙期间,该男子一度爬上领先的坦克,似乎在与里面的人交谈。"我离那排坦克大约半英里远,所以我听不到什么,"维德纳说。

此时,中国政府正拼命控制正在全世界传播的信息。 在镇压开始的前几天,中国努力阻止所有媒体在北京进行直播。"总是有很大的风险,被逮捕和被没收影片,"维德纳说。

帮助维德纳进入北京饭店的学生马森,把带有 "坦克人 "的胶卷放在他的内裤里,偷运出饭店。 这些照片很快通过电话线传送到世界其他地方。

有几家媒体拍摄了 "坦克人 "的照片,但维德纳的照片是使用最广泛的。 它出现在世界各地报纸的头版,并在当年被提名为普利策奖。"虽然我知道这张照片受到了高度赞扬,但直到多年后,我才看到美国在线的帖子,我的照片被评为有史以来最难忘的10张照片之一。我意识到我已经取得了一些非凡的成就,"维德纳说。
