    China censors lesbian plotline in 'Friends'
    By Philip Wang, CNN
    (CNN) - Major Chinese streaming platforms have censored an LGBTQ plotline in the popular TV series "Friends," causing fans of the show to express their anger on social media.
    In the first episode, conversations regarding the character Ross's ex-wife, Carol Willick, who divorces him after realizing she is a lesbian, were deleted. Other conversations that were sexually suggestive were also edited out.
    In the original version, Ross mentions that "there was only one woman" for Carol, who leaves him for her friend Susan Bunch, while his friend Joey asks him if he ever knew she was a lesbian.
    "Friends," which stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer as six friends living in New York City, is wildly popular in China with a hugely loyal fan base.

    Even after three decades, my heart still races every time I watch this video. I vividly remember being in China at that time, watching it with my family on CCTV as if we were right there in the moment. I can recall the broadcast presenter's words: "He was like a mantis trying to stop a car (螳臂当车)." None of us could believe what we were witnessing, and we were left speechless. Little did we know back then that we had just witnessed one of the most heroic scenes of the 20th century. I wish the Tank Man all the best. Salute!

    I've read tens of Medal of Honor citations, heard countless stories of acts of bravery in battle and disaster. Men and women who went above and beyond the call of duty to save others often at the expense of their own lives. Men who held necessary positions longer than was possible only for the chance that it might do some good. All of these people who acted so bravely deserve to be remembered and honored as the heroes they are. To me, though, Tank Man stands above them all. He had no mission to accomplish; he could save no one. Only the previous night these tanks and the men inside them had killed thousands of his countrymen. Despite this, Tank Man stood defiantly in the face of thousands of tons of destruction. He knew there was no fight to win, nothing to be gained by his opposition. Yet there he stands. My God it brings me to tears every time I think of it. I'm sure that of all of the billions of people who have ever lived, Tank Man is among the Greatest. Godspeed sir, you will not be forgotten.

    The ground level picture makes this even more amazing. In that one, every one in the image is fleeing the tanks except this one dude. You can see what it felt like to be in that same situation. It drives home how completely against all self-preservation it was, what kind of confidence, conviction, balls, lack of care, or all of the above it took.
    EDIT: We'll never know his real motivation, but the way he waves at the tanks at 0:24, it looks like he'd just had enough of the whole thing and didn't care any more. It almost looks like he'd detached from himself in the moment and was just saying "f-you." Like he could've been singing and dancing at the tanks. But then he climbs on the tank and has an argument with them, which would suggest that he was fully aware. Or he snapped out of it and maintained his conviction regardless.

      I've learned a lot after going through old 1989 footages in a day, while many learn nothing after decades. Check this out.
      What the hk protestors doesn't even realize is that they're being used by other countries to start tiananmen square 2.0. They're being mislead by fear and false promises.
      So I come up with an analyze. Please tell me what you think mate. It has help me understand tiananmen square a lot better. Why? Because hk protest and tiananmen square protest are very similar.
      I also understand why China censored it because that incident was all about sowing discords.
      It's very hard to get people to see the truth, but I'll try it anyway.
      Here is the things that many don't know about.
      Pretty much every protestors leaves the Tiananmen square peacefully that night, until they're on the steet, that's where a group of rioter start killing soldiers. I'll cover that in a bit.
      I'll try summarize it by others who have done their homeworks.
      GX Mei: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests#Deaths_in_Tiananmen_Square_itself
      'could not find enough evidence to suggest that a massacre took place on the Square itself'
      'there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square itself'
      'did not observe any mass firing of weapons into the crowds of the square itself'
      'most of the troops which entered the square were armed only with anti-riot gear'
      also
      www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8555142/Wikileaks-no-bloodshed-inside-Tiananmen-Square-cables-claim.html
      ‘Wikileaks: cables from the United States embassy in Beijing have shown there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square’
      ‘Protesters who were still in the square when the army reached it were allowed to leave after negotiations with martial law troops’
      Here is the elusive culprit that slip through our minds for decades.
      Amidat: The government let them sit there for 6 weeks. The FACT is that rioters began beating and killing soldiers... That's when the shooting started.
      I've verified about the soldier killing and its true and it can be found at the most unexpected place. (this video condemn China action, but it also contain the video evidence we need about the soldier killing.)

      Just skip to 2:18 to see the dead soldier on the above video and not on this page. The rioters would kill the journalist too if he didn't keep shouting he's an American and showed his passport. Someone threw a rock at his head regardless and laughed at him. That mentally is strong on every social media discussion, if you disagree with a hk sympathizer, they'll cuss at you by calling you a 50c, a communist, CCP, and all sort of nasty names. Try verify it by playing devil advocate.
      Anyway, this might explain why there were bloody corpses outside on the streets and not inside the Tiananmen square.
      The attacking of soldiers, vandalizing buildings and burning things up remind me of the Hk protestors, which can found on this link.

      And here is man gotten beaten into coma by violent protesters in Hong Kong.

      They're so freaking similar. The only difference is that there is no hk police death yet.
      And here is a video where the Tiananmen square protestors went out safety.
