In Hong Kong in 2003, two major events happened.
The first thing is that my brother Leslie Cheung left us. On April 1st, was used to make jokes all over the world. April Fools' Day . Leslie Cheung called his agent on the 24th floor of the Mandarin Hotel that day. Jumped down.
The second thing is that Anita Mui died of cervical cancer the day before New Year's Eve.
Leslie Cheung's departure was too decisive, Anita Mui's death was too beautiful, and the two of them could not be replaced. Their departure was unacceptable to many fans and many movie fans.
Today is 17 years after Leslie Cheung jumped off the 24th floor.

Looking back at Leslie Cheung’s life, there are glories and losses, successes and failures. What we see is only his glorious side, but like many stars, Leslie Cheung also has many unknowns before his fame. one side.
Leslie Cheung’s family conditions were very good when he was a child, and his father was a well-known tailor. He mainly ran a tailor-made clothing store, and the customers were even involved at home and abroad. Leslie Cheung has 10 brothers and sisters, and he is the youngest one. The age difference with the older sister is even 18 years old. The huge age difference prevents him from not being favored by his older brothers and sisters. On the contrary, they have no common topics and gradually become alienated. Although the youngest, but not the most favorite, he was sent to study abroad at the age of 13.
However, when Leslie Cheung was 21 years old, his father was paralyzed due to alcohol abuse, and his family fell in love. Leslie had to give up his studies and return to China. In 1977, Hong Kong TV hosted the "Amateur Singer Contest". With the encouragement of his friends, Leslie Cheung, who loves to sing, decided to give it a try. Penniless, he also borrowed a 20 yuan registration fee from his servant Six Sister. In the competition, Leslie Cheung sang an English song "American Pie" and finally won the second place.Leslie Cheung has since officially stepped into the show business circle.
He was looked down upon by many people when he just debuted. Even if he released an album, he would not be recognized by everyone, and he often couldn't even pay the rent. The first turning point in his life was in 1983 when Leslie Cheung finally became popular with the song "Span3span Wind Continues to Blow ", after which his career began to soar.
In Leslie Cheung's hottest period, there was another rival, Alan Tam . In the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s, the competition between Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam was also called "Tan Zhang Zhenghe" ". However, what people did not expect was that in 1988, Alan Tam suddenly announced his withdrawal from the music scene and no longer participated in any award ceremony. I thought that Alan Tam’s withdrawal allowed his brother to monopolize the top of the music scene in Hong Kong, but in 1989, Leslie Cheung also announced his withdrawal from the music scene.
After Leslie Cheung moved to the film and television industry, Ning Caichen in "Span3span A Chinese Ghost Story", the Twelve Young Masters in "Rouge Button", Cheng Dieyi and Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine" The performance of the characters has become a classic in film and television. Leslie Cheung has also won numerous awards in the film industry, and even won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor for his Forrest Gump. In the music world, he won the " Golden Needle Award", which represents the highest honor.

The brother who has gone smoothly in his career has met his confidant Tang Hede in life. Crane Derby is three years younger than Leslie Cheung. When the two met, Leslie Cheung was at the bottom of his career. Tang Hede spared no effort to spend all his savings to help Leslie Cheung tide over the difficulties and stay with his brother. Leslie Cheung once said: Name, no money, only him.
Homosexuality is difficult for many people to accept,Let alone in the 80s. After opening his relationship with Tang Hede, everyone gave him pointers, and fans were even more disappointed in him. But he didn't want to hurt the people who cared about and loved him, and he didn't want to hurt the people who he cared about.
In the 1997 concert, the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" was even more like telling the world that Tang Hede is his love. Since then, the two have appeared together in various public places. One day, Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede appeared on the street at midnight, and found paparazzi following to shoot. Leslie Cheung took Tang Hede's hand without hesitation. So there is "the greatest hand in this century".
Leslie Cheung once said to the media, "I am not gay, but the person I fall in love with happens to be of the same sex."
Later, his elder brother got depression. Tang Hede went around looking for medicine and a psychiatrist. He refused to take the medicine, so Tang Hede took a bite first, and then let him eat with peace of mind. Several suicides were discovered by Mr. Tang and stopped. However, on April 1, 2003, he left us forever. We wished he was joking to us. After April Fool's Day, we can still see that kind and gentle brother.
After the death of his brother Leslie Cheung, Tang Hede wanted to follow his brother countless times. At the funeral of his brother, Tang Hede was even more wailing. The tall and handsome he cried until he became weak, and tears rained down many times, making it difficult to conceal his sadness.
During the seventeen years of his brother Leslie Cheung's death, he was alone in guarding the apartment where he once lived with Leslie Cheung, accompanied by Leslie's ashes. Over the years, he has not changed the furnishings in his home, and he has always retained the appearance of his brother when he was alive.
Every update of his ins, many times make people feel sad, because most of the content is related to the older brother.
April 1, 2017He posted a photo with Leslie Cheung on the ins, with the text: There is this scene on the ceiling of the night, so I can't turn off my projector.
These two sentences are the lyrics of Leslie Cheung’s " Where Are You". On the tenth anniversary of Leslie Cheung’s death, Tang Hede once ordered a song for Leslie Cheung on the radio. This song is exactly "Where Are You" .
At Christmas time, he said that this is his favorite holiday. Although his statement did not deliberately say anything, the fans were still very sad when they saw it, and felt sorry for the two of them.
February 5, 2020, is Tang Hede's 61st birthday. He invited many people to his birthday party. When he looked into the camera, his eyes were as gentle as ever. Among them, the former agent of Leslie Cheung who wears sunglasses is Chen Shufen .
Everyone feels that Tang Hede has grown old, but their love has not changed.
These two men, whom we have never known, who have spent 21 years together, their relationship is so hot.
is the most beautiful same-sex love, but also the most embarrassing same-sex love.
