The photograph of an unarmed man standing in the path of tanks is one of the 20th century's most famous images.

The installation in Taiwan marks 30 years since the protests, and the artist hopes it will remind people of the Chinese regime.Shake, the artist, said:"As a Taiwanese I hope I can help China to also achieve democracy one day. So I think it is important to the Taiwanese people to continue discussing this topic - preventing people from forgetting this event and reminding the Taiwanese people that the regime in China is dangerous.

Su Yung-Hua, a 21-year-old student, said:"Both the place and timing to put this up require courage, there are so many tourists from China coming to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall. "I think it is very brave to put it here and I am quite concerned that there could be someone who pops it with a needle at night."

Taiwan was part of China until a civil war which ended in 1949, leading to the creation of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, commonly known as Taiwan.
