That year, it was still the Mandarin Hotel, and Leslie Cheung descended from the 24th floor. April Fools' Day fooled the world, but how hope the world is that it is just an April Fools' Day joke. However, Leslie Cheung, the all-round artist loved by the public, has really left people. Just like Yu Ji who drew her sword and killed herself, she left people with infinite melancholy. So far, "Brother" has gone, and there is no more Yuji.

Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine" was originally called Xiaodouzi. He was born humble and his mother was a prostitute. In order to keep her alive, he cut off his deformed fingers and let him learn art. He felt innocent and cold that winter. He looked at his blood-red fingers, and his mother was running madly in the snow. He was crying and he seemed to see his destiny. The road to learning art is a history of blood and tears. He and his friends spent their childhood in crying. Being beaten is commonplace. A stick makes a dutiful son, and a strict teacher makes a high disciple. Of course, there is also the dream of one day becoming a corner.
"Farewell My Concubine" was watched by many viewers in tears. Whether it is the cry of art-studying children, the sadness in fate, and the tragedy of their respective destinies as adults, they all poke the audience's tears. The scene that Cheng Dieyi in his youth made the audience unforgettable. Because I always get punished because that line is wrong. His mouth has been poked. At that time, he suddenly realized that he must accept the challenge of fate. Although I am so unwilling in my heart: I am a man, not a girl Jiao'e. However, he must be: I am a female Jiao'e, not a man. This seemingly inverted line caused the young Cheng Dieyi to suffer. That is not a wrong line, but a shout to fight against fate-I am a man, not a girl!
men should be self-improvement. But still can't get rid of the bullying of fate. The virginity was plundered by Father Zhang. After adulthood, he was defiled by Yuan Siye. Fortunately, he is Yu Ji, the overlord's Yu Ji. The little stones of childhood gave him the warmest care. The little stone in adulthood is the small building of Bawang section. In Cheng Dieyi's mind, Duan Xiaolou is the elder brother, the father, and perhaps even the lover. This intertwined feeling supports his life. He hoped that Duan Xiaolou would always be Overlord and Yuji, and that he would continue like this for a lifetime. He said, how can it change for a lifetime? Unlike Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou's tricks and life are very clear. He said to Dieyi, I am a fake overlord, and you are the real Yuji. This sentence is so true that Cheng Dieyi devoted himself to the art of Peking Opera and to Yu Ji until his death. Others live in the play regardless of their play. He fulfilled the role of Yu Ji, but he did not get out of Yu Ji's tragic fate.
Cheng Dieyi is pure in life, pure in heart, and art is supreme. In the art of Peking Opera, he pursues excellence without tolerating any flaws. Follow sincerity in the pursuit of feelings. Therefore, he placed his most sincere feelings on the role of Yu Ji and his dependence on Duan Xiaolou. However, destiny did not fulfill his deformed thoughts and comfort. Fake plays can never be done for real. The appearance of Juxian destroyed his "love affair" with Duan Xiaolou. Therefore, Cheng Dieyi hated Juxian and later exposed and insulted Juxian out of revenge. Although he knew that it was a fatal blow to Juxian. When Duan Xiaolou exposed him against his will, he shouted in despair: You are all liars, you all lied to me. He thinks that Duan Xiaolou failed to keep his promise, yeah, what about a lifetime? How could he abandon him to live with Juxian? Also, Siye Yuan, who knows how to play,Understand him so well, but he still cannot escape the fate of being insulted and damaged. In Yuan Siye's eyes, Cheng Dieyi was the transformed Yu Ji.
In that scene, Cheng Dieyi danced with Yuan Siye, but Cheng Dieyi still faced Yuan Siye awkwardly. Because no matter how Yuan Siye makes up, he is not a real overlord. His heart is desperate and compassionate. He feels sorry for himself, he will eventually be the plaything of dignitaries. Although they are pretending to love Peking Opera art. In Cheng Dieyi's heart, the real overlord is Duan Xiaolou, and he is the real Yuji. However, Duan Xiaolou smiled and told him: I am a fake overlord, you are the real Yuji. Later, things changed and the years changed. The Overlord is no longer the original Overlord, but Yu Ji is still the same. This is how the tragedy continues. Yu Ji finally drew his sword and killed herself. He used his life to tell the world that Yu Ji was Yu Ji. Live pure, dead understand. Rather Stick to your guns.
In front of art, in front of sincerity, in front of love, nothing can tolerate hypocrisy. Therefore, he refused Yuan Siye's so-called help, and he did not accept the so-called help from Juxian and Duan Xiaolou. He didn't want to bow his head with the secular, and didn't want to go for nothing. He knew that the overlord would never come back, the overlord in his heart was already dead. So, is Yu Ji's life still precious? Only death is the cleanest life.
"Farewell My Concubine" watched the audience crying too much. There are too many meanings, deep and heart-wrenching. If he and Xiao Laizi did not return, would they be able to eat candied haws happily and have a happy and worry-free childhood? If you haven't been shocked by the heroic king on the stage? What if he was the Yuji who was favored by the overlord? If there is no such deformed finger, is there no such deformed life? If there is no Zhang Gonggong, he can be a girl Jiao'e without Yuan Siye, instead of longing for a man? All hopes and shouts are accusations of an old age.
Cheng Dieyi is beautiful, he is infatuated. He longs for sincerity and good. At the same time, he is also entangled, his life is twisted. I put my love in the play, and hope that life is like a play, so there is more love and warmth. Unfortunately, the play is like life, because Yu Ji lives for the overlord. Yu Ji must end the curtain with death.
Xiaodou's Cheng Dieyi seems to have returned to that winter: the land is so white and clean! He seemed to see his mother in the snow. "Brother" Leslie Cheung saw that that day? do not you know? After that winter, spring should come...
