Funnily enough, horses actually produce much more than 1 horsepower. I think the story goes that James Watt estimated it would take a team of 10 horses resting and taking turns to pull a tractor/mill/whatever that keep 2 horses constantly busy, so that's how he calculated it.
But over shorter durations, horses can produce much more.
A nit to pick: It's Tiananman Square (Tian-an-men)

Or Tian'anman, for disambiguation.

A human can generate more than a horsepower, too, for short times. I used to have how fast you'd have to go up a flight of stairs to have done so.
just a note: the man didn't die, they didn't kill him (i'm not supporting the tank side)
