On February 5th, Leslie Cheung’s former agent, Chen Shufen, shared a group of photos of Tang Hede’s birthday with his family and friends on social platforms, with the text "I wish Mr. Tang good health and happy birthday."
61 The year-old Tang Hede looks very young, with a lovely smile and a warm gentleman, but he always feels a little bit missing, sunshine, yes, sunshine. Although he doesn't look like a 61-year-old, his eyes are lonely and haggard. .
He accompanied "Brother" when he was at the lowest point in his life until he jumped. He accompanied him for more than 20 years. During the last illness of "Brother", he stayed with him and stayed with him. Deep righteousness, at the funeral, Leslie Cheung’s niece said to Tang Hede:
"Uncle has always cherished the feelings with you. He said that you had accompanied him through difficult times. In the past year, I have also seen what is called True love, you will never leave the tenth uncle, and take care of him day and night. On behalf of the tenth uncle, thank you very much, the tenth uncle has you, so happy, no matter how sad we are, I believe it will not be as sad as you."
Now that 17 years have passed since the death of "brother", let us review this enduring love again.

At the end of 1982, Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede met at the godmother Mrs. Zhang’s party. At this time, the 23-year-old Tang Hede was already a personable, calm and elegant. Introverted handsome man. This is not their first acquaintance. They had a relationship when they were children, and they knew a little about each other's family background.
It didn't take long for each other to grow up in a similar environment, and the world view was also compatible, the two became good friends who talked about everything. At this time Leslie Cheung encountered a bottleneck in his career and was unable to break through. During the years of his debut, he had been mediocre, criticized and not recognized, and was once financially struggling to make ends meet. At that time, Tang Hede was also a newcomer who had just joined the company, and his salary was not high. He saved a few months of salary to Leslie Cheung, which can almost be said to be helpful. He ate instant noodles for several months.
They have been with each other for 3 years. During this time, they understand each other as much as they want. Their emotions have become deeper and deeper, even beyond the definition of friendship. They are dependent, almost in love, but both of them tacitly understand. It was not until 1985 that Leslie Cheung became popular.
In an interview many years later, when Hong Kong star Zheng Peipei talked about Leslie Cheung, he said:
"The first person to share homosexuality with her was "brother". Leslie Cheung was not yet popular at that time, they She made a film called "Thirty-Three Women". She said "Brother" is too perfect. She doesn't think homosexuality is a terrible thing."
This drama happened to be released in 1983, which shows that At that time, the relationship between my brother and Tang Tang was already very good.
Because of this love, Leslie Cheung's life has become more legendary. Tang Hede's life is also true.

After the red, Leslie Cheung carefully protects this hard-won love. Tang Hede is even more so. He drove him to banquets and parties. The identity of the driver appeared, warming him silently behind him.
Leslie Cheung’s concert, Tang Hede always sits in the inconspicuous corner of the last row, stands up with the fans and shouts, waving light sticks, and shouting "I Love You" together. No one knows that this Yushu is in the wind. The big man is the person most qualified to say this sentence.
Later Leslie Cheung said in an interview with Mao Shunyun, "Mr. Tang is like my brother and family. He is a gift given to me by the Lord." When he was 13 years old when he was sent by his father to study abroad, he didn't miss his family so much. At that time Leslie Cheung realized that he really had a home, and someone in the family was waiting for him.
Leslie Cheung had a hard time after the red jump. Although some people are brilliant and dazzling, and some people are heart-piercing, he has been living in doubt. When everyone was waiting for him to shine, he made an amazing move "Farewell to the music scene." So there were 33 farewell concerts from 1989 to early 1990.
After that, he and his lover Tang Hede fared away from the red dispute and went to Canada. In order to accompany his lover, Tang Hede shifted the focus of work to Canada. From then on, the two of them avoided the public view and concentrated on enjoying the quiet life of the two in the world.
During their days in Canada, the two of them lived in simplicity and lived a slow-paced life. Leslie Cheung's hands that were shaking because of tension before returned to normal after arriving in Canada. I have to say that Tang Hede played a very important role during this period.
Regardless of Leslie Cheung’s decision, Tang Hede will support and follow him. He will come back a few years later and Tang Hede will do the same, as long as he is happy and happy. Only Tang Hede can give him selfless and generous love in the spiritual world of his brother Leslie Cheung without asking for anything in return.

In 1995, Leslie Cheung made a comeback after leaving the music scene for 5 years, and Tang Hede decided to return to Hong Kong from Canada as early as 1994. He knew My lover is a workaholic and loves the stage very much. The loneliness here is unbearable. The best way for him to do this is to stay with him to the end. When Leslie Cheung returned, Tang Hede had already joined the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank and continued to be with him.
In 1997, Hong Kong's return is imminent. Leslie Cheung confessed to his lover Tang Hede at the "Across 97" concert. He said:
"Tonight is a very exceptional night. I will sing a few more songs. Is it?”
Of course, fans hope that he can sing a few more songs. As for what “exception” is, no one knows and will not worry about it.
Leslie Cheung first said to send a song to his mother, then he said:
"At the same time, I also want to give this song to a very important friend in my life, that is Your godson. When I was most frustrated, when the economy was at its best, he could lend me several months of salary to let me tide over the difficulties. He is Mr. Tang."
It stands to reason that he should give at least 3 seconds to allow the audience to cheer, but he brought out the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" that will be sung with almost no gaps. It can be seen that his heart is worried, he doesn't know. Saying these words will have any effect on him, but he can't care about so much, he must give his lover Tang Hede a solemn expression.
This lover is so good, he is qualified to let the world know his name. No matter how the outside world and those paparazzi contemplate them, he just wants to be himself. He doesn't want to be sneaky with his lover, he just wants to enjoy the sweetness with integrity.

Presumably after saying those words, they lived a happy life for several years, but the day did not follow everyone's wishes, and only 6 after they announced their relationship In 20 years, his brother jumped down from the Mandarin Hotel and ended his short and legendary life.
Many people speculated about the cause of his death. Some said it was "media murder", some said he was "evil", and some said that Tang Hede changed his heart, etc., and they said everything. I asked Leslie Cheung’s friends and got it. The answer is "He doesn't necessarily know it himself."
Maybe all these add up to make him overwhelmed, and Tang Hede is undoubtedly the most sad person. At Leslie Cheung’s funeral, Mr. Absolutely, he had to rely on the support of others to barely stand up. The elegiac couplet he gave to his elder brother was "Forever and forever, this love lasts forever!"
He then lived alone and bought it with Leslie Cheung In the house, he guarded his brother’s ashes and the dog he left behind. After the dog died, he lived there alone. He would not be absent every day related to his brother, keeping his brother’s friends. Contact as if the brother is still there.
On the tenth anniversary of his brother’s death, Tang Hede wrote for the first time a memorial essay, "Ten years of life and death are infinite, unthinking, self-unforgettable. The water has passed without any thought. Day and night, life is impermanent. Only love has eternity, let meWe continue to spoil Leslie Cheung. ”
