Leslie Cheung has left us for 17 years.
For 17 years, every April 1st, countless people remember his passing.
There are many memorials, but there are very few who really know him.
The 17 years he left have been the era of rapid development of the Internet. There are various "confidential" stories circulating on the Internet, and too much information has become a kind of interference, causing many latecomers to be in various voices. Lost, blindly thinking about the person in my imagination.
Many people have misunderstandings about him.
The first major misunderstanding is sexuality.
Is he gay?
No, he is bisexual.
Heterosexuality is a person who can only fall in love with the opposite sex. Homosexuality is a person who can only fall in love with the same sex. Bisexuality can have love for both the same sex and the opposite sex.
Chitose, who worked with Leslie Cheung, once wrote a memoir-style memoir "Leslie Cheung's Time", which records some of the conversations between himself and him. One paragraph involved the discussion of sexuality.
Leslie Cheung said bluntly: I am not gay, as long as I like it, the same sex can be the opposite.
His first love was a slender, athletic girl he met when he was 13 years old during school. Later,
also successively dated Mao Shunyun, Sydney and others, and even proposed to Mao Shunyun once.
and he and Tang Hede , both families are relatively well-known in Hong Kong. Maybe they met when they were young, but they didn’t really know each other until 1982, when both parties had their own girlfriends.
After breaking up with his girlfriend, because of too much attention and interference from the outside world, the two experienced underground love, breakup and reunion. By 1989, Leslie Cheung bid farewell to the music scene and planned to move to Canada with Tang Hede, but soon found that he could not let it go. After working, he returned to Hong Kong. Later, Tang Hede also returned to Hong Kong to accompany him.
In 1994, Leslie Cheung worked with Anita Yuan in a film called "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves".
At that time, he had just finished filming "Farewell My Concubine". In the movie, Cheng Dieyi was confused and could not tell whether he was a female Jiao'e or a male man. Perhaps, his feelings about Tang Hede and Tang Hede outside the movie, I still don't know where to go. In
in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", Anita Yuan has short hair and a female disguised as a man to become a newcomer to the record company. As a musician, the male protagonist Gu Jiaming once thought that he was in love with men, so in the end, he had the classic line: " Whether it’s a man or a woman, I only know that I like you.”
Perhaps, this is also Leslie Cheung’s attitude. With regard to love, considers “love” first and “gender” second.
In 1995, the two were photographed; a year later, at the "Leaping Over 97" concert, Leslie Cheung disclosed his relationship with Tang Hede, and they have had a wonderful time ever since.
Naturally, many people look at them differently, but Leslie Cheung has always acted in his own way and ignored the thoughts of irrelevant people.
In an interview with Time Magazine in 2001, Leslie Cheung publicly stated: It would be more appropriate for to say that I am a bisexual.
And I have always believed that the reason why he can become an actor and singer with so many classic works is inseparable from his gender recognition, and his tolerance is very strong. He has both males. On the one hand, it can be more graceful than most menPianpian can also obscure the masculine traits and appear in a female dress to explore the beauty of women.
As he himself once said: I think good actors are ever-changing and hermaphrodite.
The second biggest misunderstanding is depression.
is not bad. Today, 17 years ago, he chose to leave because he suffered from depression.
But many people have misunderstandings about depression itself, especially today, depression seems to be the number one "epidemic" in the entertainment industry and even in modern society. Many celebrities have said that they have depression due to excessive stress, and even In many cases, depression seems to have become a "death-free gold medal". People suffering from depression can vent at will, but others dare not refute it because they may commit suicide if they are not careful.
But there are two kinds of depression, one is "endogenous" caused by physiological endocrine problems, and the other is "exogenous" caused by external factors.
Most people today recognize the latter, that is, depression due to too much pressure in life.
But Leslie Cheung suffers from the former.
In terms of acting, he is quick to enter the play but also quick to come out, so he will not be addicted to the role and play.
He himself is a very cheerful person. For all kinds of pressure, he mostly laughed at it, as he sang in "I":
I am a firework with a different color
Although there is pressure outside, it is not caused. The root cause of his depression and even suicide, especially after his relationship with Tang Hede has been quite stable. There is a saying in
because he suffers from stomach problems and has uncomfortable reactions such as acid reflux, which leads to disorders of brain secretion, and he can no longer perceive happiness physiologically.
In fact, in the last days, he was physically suffering from many illnesses, except for the severe depression that was extremely painful at the time of the onset, when the symptoms of acid reflux were repeated, burning his throat, and antidepressant drugs. Side effects such as headache and dizziness, mental instability caused by long-term insomnia, etc.
His willpower is already very strong. He has fought against illness for a year, tried to commit suicide, and mentioned the topic of suicide in front of friends. Perhaps, in a state of extreme pain, death is a relief. The reason why
has caused misunderstandings to the public may be because of the legendary suicide note:
Depression (Note: Depression), thank you friends, thank you Professor Mai Lifei Fei.
has been very hard this year and can no longer bear it. Thank you Mr. Tang, your family, and sister Fei.
I have never done anything bad in my life, why is this?
Many people think that the phrase "I haven't done anything bad in my life, why is this" is accusing those who attacked him and expressing his disappointment in the world; but in my opinion, it is more that he is accusing God of injustice. Express dissatisfaction with the world.
17 years ago, there are still so many people who miss him, but I hope more people will miss him sincerely.
