On July 18, Leslie Cheung’s former friend Tang Hede posted an article in response to online rumors that he had found a new love, brought his new boyfriend to live in Leslie Cheung’s house, and had two children, which aroused heated discussion.
Tang Hede said that he moved out of his old residence with Leslie Cheung more than ten years ago. Since Leslie Cheung's death, he has been living alone, and he still lives alone now. Therefore, he did not live in his brother's old house with his new love.
Regarding the new relationship, Tang Hede bluntly said that he and Mr. Shi are friends without commitment and are two independent individuals.
He has not found anyone to have children. The so-called children on the Internet are actually the children of his friends. The relationship between him and his two children is more like a "grandfather and grandson" relationship.
Tang Hede said that he has treated his relatives and friends sincerely throughout his life and is very sorry for the misunderstanding and "disrespect" caused by rumors about his new relationship and children. He will deeply review and reflect on his behavior and performance.
Previously, some netizens broke the news that 65-year-old Tang Hede had a new love and moved into Leslie Cheung's old residence with his new boyfriend, who was 27 years younger than him. The two also had two children through sex. Later, it was also reported on the Internet that Tang Hede There are many photos taken with her new boyfriend Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi also has a tattoo of the word "Tang" on his arm, which shows their relationship.
As a result, many netizens angrily accused Tang Hede of being hypocritical, accusing him of setting up a lover online to gain sympathy for himself while secretly starting a new relationship, deceiving Leslie Cheung's fans and also feeling sorry for Leslie Cheung.
Some netizens even went to the live broadcast room of Leslie Cheung’s former agent Chen Shufen to verify the matter. In this regard, Chen Shufen said that she had no knowledge and felt there was no need to ask Tang Hede.
Subsequently, Chen Shufen once again issued an article emphasizing that she did not know Mr. Shi, "Mr. Tang never told me about this person before yesterday."
As for the group photo posted online, Chen Shufen explained that the group photo was taken at Tang Hede's 60th birthday party, but she didn't recognize one-third of the people in it.
After reading Chen Shufen’s response, some people thought she was lying, while others thought she might not be telling the truth because she didn’t know the truth.
Now, Tang Hede himself issued a response. Although he did not directly admit the new relationship and confirm the identity of Mr. Shi's lover, he did not deny the relationship between the two. Many netizens also felt unworthy for Chen Shufen, "You have been friends with Tang Hede for so many years, but he didn't even tell you that he had a new love?"
Actually, there is a saying. Tang Hede was Leslie Cheung's partner during his lifetime, and Leslie Cheung has passed away. After so many years, it would be okay for Tang Hede to start a new relationship.
The reason why this matter has caused so much controversy is simply because of the rumors circulating on the Internet that he brought his new love to live in Leslie Cheung's old residence and had two children, and that he has a new love but still misses Leslie Cheung in various ways on the Internet. In the eyes of netizens, this behavior is tantamount to deceiving fans' feelings.
However, Tang Hede has now clarified that he did not bring his new love to live in Leslie Cheung's old residence, and he was not disrespectful to Leslie Cheung. As for the fact that Mr. Shi has not been made public, perhaps he believed that the other party was not a lover and could not replace Leslie Cheung.
It is reported that Tang Hede is Leslie Cheung's most beloved person, and the two have known each other since childhood.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung euphemistically expressed his love to Tang Hede with the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" at the Leap 97 concert. In the 21 years since Leslie Cheung's death, Tang Hede has commemorated Leslie Cheung in his own way every year.
