Wheelchair

I have to blog this.

Saw a man in a wheelchair cross the road in front of the General Hospital. Brave man. He wheeled himself off the kerb, crossed over to the divider, and rolled down three lanes of oncoming vehicles. Cars slowed down and backed up. He took his time, causing a jam of sorts. Reminded me of the unknown Tiananmen hero who stopped a convoy of armoured tanks.

(Tiananmen Square uprising was in 1989. Has it been so long?)
