Anyone care to say that one man can't make a difference?
I am guessing he is using the name Wang Weilin to protect family and friends who remain behind. The more things change . . . But even though it seems unfair that we do not get to know the real name of this hero -- if ever a man deserved to have his name known, this one does -- I will still do everything I can to remember the name Wang Weilin, because that is the most I can do to honor him.

I used to use him as an example of just that to my HS Government students. Does anyone know how old he was then/is now? I know he was in college, but I wondered an exact age. He should be close to my age.
I asked my students once to imagine themselves in just a few years, standing in front of a line of tanks, willing to die for what they believed in. I don't think any of them really grasped the concept. I don't know that I really did at the time it happened.
