Leslie Cheung 1956-2003
Popular Hongkong pop superstar and actor jumps to his death
Oh my god. This is a shock.
Most of you have probably never heard of Leslie Cheung, but he is.. was.. one of Asia's biggest superstars as both a singer and actor. Try to imagine if Brad Pitt or Madonna suddenly committed suicide. What terrible news for folks over there, already suffering so much stress from this virus.
Some you will be aware I am an avid follower of Hong Kong cinema, and Leslie Cheung is in many of my favorite films:
John Woo's A Better Tomorrow, One and Two
Tsui Hark's Chinese Ghost Story, One and Two
The Bride With White Hair
Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together
He played a somewhat scandalous gay role in Happy Together, and rumors about his sexuality hounded him throughout his career. I'm sure now that will play into speculation about his apparent suicide.. but whatever the reason, a terrible tragedy.

Damn, I thought this must be an April Fool. Then I looked it up and it's on Yahoo News. Truly tragic.

I didn't want to believe it was true.
This sucks.

I don't know what drive him to commit suicide but i just want to ask , don't he will miss his sisters, partners and his fans? He once promised Cheung Park Chee to let her be the heroin in one of his film but ... No matter what people think of your personality, I will always remember and love you,Leslie Gor Gor!!!!

He was a beautiful man and a beautiful actor. Leslie Cheung gave his role in "Farewell, My Concubine" an amazing depth that few actors could ever dream of creating; it's only sad that his greatness couldn't transcend his emotional problems.
So tragic to lose one of the few truly talented people in entertainment. He will be incredibly missed.
Posted by: Kitana at June 10, 2003 06:21 PM
yes..i heard about it...it was too long ago..i wish it was a april fool joke. well he commit suicide because his boyfriend dumped him and he felt depressed and *tears* this is makimg me cry..well...he then later on went to a gay hotel and jumped off the hight balcony...this is a tragic story...i thought he had everyting but i guess money can't buy u happiness...you will be forever missed and loved!

why commited suicides? ,its a stupid action,think positively and dont let your emotional feeling control you, everybody has their own problem but you dont have to commit suicide in order to let people know you have abig problem,once again its a stupid,silly,childish and moron act.
Posted by: antu at January 10, 2004 10:37 AM
one who think to commit suicide is a loser.just relax and live a healthy life. remember Allah and you wouldnt think to do stupid act

Sorry to hear that such a talented man took his life , how ironic tha art imitates life....
Sad that this young talented man couldn't deal with his demons in another way.. Iwas browsing on the internet when I came across a news headline regarding mr. cheung,, and read further.... good career and music is sensational( download a song)
beautiful sound... People who committe suicide struggle form the inside never form the outside... Again sad to hear of such terribe ending to life. Linda

I remember the first time i saw you on TV recieving an award for the song MONICA. From that day on, you have become my idol. It is very sad that i did not get the opportunity to see you in person. There are ppl that dont understand why you have commited what u have, but i do. Depression is an illness where the mind controls you and not that you control your mind. its like if you are sad, can you immediately control yourself to not be sad? I just wanted to post this becuz i have seen a few negative judgements. If you are not leslie you wont understand. He is in peace now. So at least you can do is give that respect.

phentermine Thus it is that no group ever sets itself up as the One without at once setting up the Other over against itself. If three travellers chance to occupy the same compartment, that is enough to make vaguely hostile 'others' out of all the rest of the passengers on the train. In small-town eyes all persons not belonging to the village are 'strangers' and suspect; to the native of a country all who inhabit other countries are 'foreigners'; Jews are 'different' for the anti-Semite, Negroes are 'inferior' for American racists, aborigines are 'natives' for colonists, proletarians are the 'lower class' for the privileged.
