She was the woman Leslie Cheung wanted to marry most during his lifetime, and she was also the only woman who ever rejected Leslie Cheung's proposal.
She is Mao Shunyun. After three marriages and two divorces, she finally married a director who is 15 years older than herself.
It was only at the end that she frankly regretted not marrying Leslie Cheung.
If they really got married, would the result be different?
16 years old, Mao Shunyun was spotted by a director and invited to host a program and became a host. After
, she transformed into an actress and her stardom was very smooth.
In 1977, Mo Shunjun was spotted by Hong Kong Jiayi TV and was invited to star in the 1977 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", playing the role of "Lin Daiyu", which made him known to more audiences.
It was also this year that Mo Shunyun met Leslie Cheung. At this time, she was 17 years old and Leslie Cheung was 20 years old.
Leslie Cheung fell in love with the spirited Mo Shunjun at first sight. The two had a perfect understanding when hosting a music program together. Later, they played lovers in the movie "Love Story: Nineteen Years Old". Their relationship gradually heated up on and off the screen.
After the two fell in love, Leslie Cheung, who was affectionate and determined, took Mao Shunyun to meet his family and friends, and also visited Mao Shunyun at his home, looking like a prospective son-in-law.
But at that time, Mao Shunyun was still young, she still had the drive for her career, and she was obviously not ready for marriage.
Faced with Leslie Cheung’s enthusiasm, she gradually felt at a loss and even deliberately avoided it.
One day three months later, Leslie Cheung mustered up the courage to propose to Mo Shunyun. This was also the first time he gave a girl roses.
Unexpectedly, Mao Shunyun was frightened by him and did not accept his "lightning proposal".
One of them longed for a stable marriage, the other pursued a free love, and eventually drifted apart. Although the two of them were in love for only a few months, they were deeply memorable.
When Moo Shunyun mentioned why she rejected Leslie Cheung's proposal, she admitted that it was not because she didn't love him enough, but because she was too young and Leslie Cheung was too good, and she was afraid that she would not be able to give him the happiness he wanted.
After that, the two became good friends who talked about everything.
In the show, Leslie Cheung once jokingly asked Mo Shunyun, what would happen if they got married back then?
Mo Shunyun said with a smile that she would definitely have many children, and Leslie Cheung would take care of the children at home and would not go out to "play with women."
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss.
Later, Leslie Cheung had Tang Hede by his side, and Mao Shunyun also experienced several of her marriages.
html At the age of 221, she married French-Chinese businessman Wen Shuyang. After that, she took a break for three years. However, due to various reasons, the two divorced, and Mao Shunyun returned to the entertainment industry to shine.
In 1988, Mo Shunjun, who had experienced a failed marriage, married the famous Hong Kong director Chiang Ka-jun. However, the two spent less time together and separated more, and their relationship gradually faded, and eventually they separated peacefully.
Her marriage to her third husband Ou Dingping was brokered by Leslie Cheung. After the two got married, Mao Shunyun gave birth to two daughters successively and formed a happy family of four. So far, she has finally stabilized emotionally. .
Mao Shunyun has been married three times in total, none of which was to Leslie Cheung.
But they became each other's most "special" friends, warming each other up.
When the relationship between Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede was scorned by the outside world, Mao Shunyun resolutely stood by his side and encouraged him.
However, tragedy still happened.
On April 1, 2003, April Fool’s Day, Leslie Cheung jumped from the fitness center on the 24th floor of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong and passed away.
Before his death, Leslie Cheung once approached Mo Shunyun and asked her how her life was and whether she had any financial problems. However, Mo Shunyun did not notice anything unusual.
Until hearing the news of his death, Mao Shunyun suddenly realized and was extremely sad.
Many years later, Mo Shunyun recalled her relationship with Leslie Cheung and just smiled, "I didn't understand anything at the time, and I didn't know how to cherish it."
The story is short, but the lingering warmth is long.
Regrets always exist, but regardless of regrets or not, life must eventually look forward.
