About Leslie Cheung (1956~2003)... a Tribute


On April 1, 2003,

Leslie Cheung (1956~2003) a HongKong acclaimed Canto-pop star and singer and an open gay widely accepted by his fans committed suicide, apparently he jumped down from Hotel Mandarin Oriental, Kowloon after leaving a note citing emotional problems.

His death baffled lots of his fans, leaving many to speculate why he “do it”. Some say he couldn’t bear the torment with being in constant emotional struggle
with his lover, Thomas a.k.a. “TongTong” while others says he have been affected by apparition and such after his last movie “Inner Senses”.

His friends even came out on a TV interview claiming he couldn’t take the fact that he had contracted a terminal disease (Possibly AIDS). Before getting his medical report, he called his few best friends to accompany him at his room, but before they can console him of anything, he find release in his own way.

Whatever the case and method he chose to leave us, Let's all pray that he would be in a better place now. God Bless his soul.
