Artiste Leslie Cheung (46) jumped to his death this evening (1st April 2003) from Central's Mandarin Oriental Hotel. He was pronounced dead, while on the way to Queen Mary hospital. There was a will at the scene of his suicide.
The police spokesman declined to confirm that the victim is Leslie, and only revealed that the artiste by the name of Zhang X Rong (Leslie's name) who is well known for his singing and have a lot of fans, jumped to his death from Central's Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Meanwhile, Leslie's brother-in-law and the doctor are holding a press conference at Queen Mary Hospital.
Leslie Cheung, born in 1956 12th of September was from a middle class family. He had ten siblings and went to England for overseas studies in 1971.
As Leslie's father passed away in 1976, Leslie was forced to drop his studies and returned to Hong Kong. Later on, Leslie made his mark when he took part in an amateur singing competition, winning himself the Hong Kong division runner-up and the Asia division fifth position. This caught the attention of the TV station and he got into the entertainment biz.
In 1983, Leslie embarked on his singing career. With his debut album, he was groomed to become an idol. In 1984, his "MONICA" album hit a sale of 200,000 copies. At his peak of his singing career, he announced that he stopped singing and went on to acting in movies.
Ok, that's about it...Sorry for the lousy translation...:lol:

omg...is this really true?
i can't believe that he will commit suicide...what a horrible tragedy...he did have a lot of rumors circulating around him and that may cause his suicide...i don't know...i'm very shocked to hear about this...i just watched his latest movie "inner senses" not long ago and i have been watching his older ones lately...can't believe that he will do such a thing...i will really miss him. :(
thank you for the translation catseye.

I really don't know what happened in the past few years to him but I am very shocked cos his latest appearance at the Pepsi concert, he seemed so happy. I know it might be a cover but he really did look genuinely happy. It's really sad that he committed suicide.
I really admired him for coming clean about him being gay. Plus he's really good looking and his works were really not bad. Sigh... what's this world coming to? 2003's really turning out to be a very bad year.
God must do something to help us!

OMG, i can't believe that he is dead. I'm still in shock here. But, there was already some indications of his odds behaviors these couple of months ago when i read in the news, like he did not want to do anything, but i thought and the industry thought that he was ok. He even went to the Pepsi concert.
Life is too precious to commit suicide. He must have been deeply depressed.
Here is some english articles of his death.

WHAT.
I'm so shocked!! I wasn't a huge fan or anything but anytime someone commits suicide I'm always sad. (length of time given for sadness varies, however).
Anyway, I heard he has AIDS. But I think that's just a rumor.
I thought he was a good actor and I enjoyed his films. One of his films that moved me was Farewell, My Concubine, just because it was so DAMN SAD!!
Also, I really liked one of his movies (wuxia) where he was a martial arts fighter or something, but the entire thing was a spoof. They kept referring to him as MU CHUEN TUO ZHAI (Kimura Takuya) the famous actor from Japan. Does anyone know what movie this is? I'd like to watch it again.
I'm kind of upset that he died!

Wow...I'm so shocked. Why woud he commit suicide? He was famous, he was rich, he had fans...wow I sound so materialistic, maybe I just answered my own question...
Oh my god, that's so terrible! I never expected that to happen!! I'm honestly shocked; I can't believe it.
It hurts me whenever anyone commits suicide, whether it be someone I know personally or someone I know indirectly, like with actors or singers. It's really sad that Leslie died this way.
::sigh::

i don't know who he is but i've heard of him and it's more shocking when a celebrity commits suicide because you THINK they're happy, but i guess they're not
He's gay... and i heard on the chinese radio that some thing it's cause he didn't know what to do becuase of a boyfriend or something...
its because of his love issues
he apparently met a Mr. Tang and fell deeply in love with him
and because of his work him and Tang stopped contacting for a while
and then he met someone named Steve
anyways..from what i gathered...it was a love issue that caused him to commit suicide

i actually do feel quite sad.......it's just too bad he couldn't think more clearly......but then again, people have their own issues and i have no right to comment on his decision....but it's just sad, cuz it happened pretty quick and sudden.
actually, when i was younger...i went to one of his concerts in HK and it was good. that was when he really REALLY popular.....long time ago.
:( :( may he rest in peace

He's a self-confessed bisexual, but he's been leaning towards the yin side more.
Though I don't follow his works too closely, it still shocks me when I saw the news.

i'm not too sure about the inside story, but i came home from school today, and my mom told me about it. I think it is sad, even though i was never a big fan of his, but suicide is a horrible thing. yah, i heard that he was gay as well, and he did say he did it because of relationship problems. why do people resort in suicide for problems? that's one thing sentimentals can do to a person...some people can stand up again no matter how hard times are, but some just can't, n i guess it's not really their fault. but anyhow, i'm deeply sorry about what had happened to him.

Not too familiar with Leslie Cheung's work myself...but this is very sad. After reading that it had something to do with his love life, couldn't help but be reminded of Barbara Yung Mei Ling (I think that's her name)
She was an actress from the 80s, I still watch a bunch of her old series. But she committed suicide over unrequited love.
Anyways, yes may he rest in peace.

i was really sad and shocked when i heard it on the news last night too.. :(
For those of you not familiar with him, Leslie Cheung is a veteran HK actor. He studied at Leeds University in England, and on returning to HK, started his career in entertainment industry after winning a singing competition. He's a great actor, my fav works of his being Farewell my Concubine, Days of Being Wild (he won best actor), and He's a Man She's a Woman. He's also one of the first Asian artiste to announce that he is bisexual, like lepencil said. Someone mentioned Mr. Tong, that's his long-time boyfriend, they're often photographed together, he's pretty open abt things. Rumors surround his death. Some say they've heard noises of the couple arguing in their apartment for the past weeks. Others say he's been possessed by spirits ever since he acted in his last horror movie - Inner Senses (like mango said).
RIP.
this saddens me soo much.
He was such an intelligent and smart guy. i can't beleive he already left us.
i couldn't really accept this when i first heard it.. cuz it seemed so impossible or unreal. But it is real. so sad.
People, there is always a solution to a problem, enjoy life and live it to the fullest!

another related news article from yahoo.com - April 1/03
HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong canto pop singer and actor Leslie Cheung (news) plunged to his death from a hotel in the city's financial district.
Local media said Cheung, 46, who earned international acclaim for his portrayal of an opera star in the 1993 historical epic 'Farewell, My Concubine', had committed suicide.
Cable Television reported that Cheung had left a note saying he was suffering from emotional problems before his death at the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong's Central district.
A police spokeswoman refused to fully identify the dead man, saying only that a 46-year-old surnamed Cheung had died in hospital after falling from the 24th floor of a hotel in Central.
"We received a report that a man had fallen from the Mandarin Hotel at around 6.40pm (1030 GMT)," the spokesman said.
"The man, a 46-year-old surnamed Cheung, was taken to the Queen Mary Hospital and declared to be dead at 7:00 pm (1100 GMT). Police found there were no suspicious circumstances."
Local television and radio reports identified the dead man as Cheung.
Cheung was one of Hong Kong's most popular performers, notable for being one of only a few Asian stars to play openly gay characters.
He came out about his sexuality after playing one of his most famous gay roles in the acclaimed 1997 movie 'Happy Together', directed by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai.
Cheung entered showbusiness after returning to Hong Kong following studies at Leeds University in northern England.
He achieved success as a canto-pop singer and enjoyed Asian-wide fame with his successful 1981 album 'The Wind Blows On'.
Cheung's success as a singer quickly paved the way for a career in film. Though he was to become noted for playing gay roles later in his career, Cheung made his breakthrough playing a rookie cop alongside Cantonese heart-throb Chow Yun-fat in John Woo (news)'s 1986 action movie 'A Better Tomorrow'.
Two years later he earned a reputation for romantic roles after playing an opium-smoking playboy in Stanley Kwan's 'Rouge', one of the most successful films to emerge from Hong Kong during the 1980s.
Further collaborations with action guru Woo followed with 1990's 'Once A Thief', before Cheung teamed up the following year with director Wong for 'Days of Being Wild'.

its really shocking. how one moment ago he was living happily, and the next he's gone forever. his suicide was done in a moment of rashness...if only he had stopped to calmly tink over the whole matter before jumping. its not like death is going to solve anything. sigh.....
and another thing, isn't it just so depressing tt pple only pay attention to you when u're gone? like all those artists, musicians are only famous after their deaths....sigh...what a depressing world it is today...

i guess its because of all the little girls and boys, everyone is just focusing on the fact that SOME GUY commited suicide... can't blame ya
Leslie Cheung is more of my generation. So.. if your around the age of 20, you know what i mean. He was my first idol, i remember my mom telling me, at the age of 2-3 i could already sing his songs.
It really is a pity, such a great looking guy.. even at the age of 46.. still very good looking. Still quite successful, really.. VERY SHOCKING to me he died.
The fact that he died made his life a LEGEND. The fact he commited suicide gave it a bad ending.. but still.. he is a LEGEND, due to his amazing career, and his shocking death. (all legends have shocking deaths)
Leslie Cheung... may he rest in peace. Hope hes playing majong with Roman Lo, and Danny Chan, and all his other gay celebrity friends.

I heard the radio saying something about always remembering him and stuff like that. then i told my mom, why are they speaking as if Leslie Cheung's dead. It turned out to be true and i was shocked. I've seen/listened to lots of his earlier works. I thought that he was one of those really talented artists. When he came out of the closet , i thought he was really brave. REST IN PEACE, LESLIE CHEUNG.
Leslie Cheung... may he rest in peace. Hope hes playing majong with Roman Lo, and Danny Chan, and all his other gay celebrity friends.
hmm, that's right. Heaven just might be an even better place.

well actually i don't think its very respectful to gossip about someone deceased...

04-02-2003, 01:26 PM
I feel really sad... :(
Sigh... I was online yesterday when my HK friend ICQ-ed me to say that Leslie Cheung committed suicide. I simply assumed that it was one off those tantrums that actors sometimes have and thought that he didn't die and just asked her why he did it. Then she sent me a url with the news and I was like, OMG! He died???
And I felt so affected by it.
Sigh... it's kinda indescribable. Although he is not someone I really idolize in that sense, he is an iconic figure that I grew up with. I watch his shows and one of my favourite album belongs to him. (Chong3 Ai4) He is a celebrity that I read about and talk about. Basically a celebrity that I look up to and like.
It's difficult to understand how the world can be so dark sometimes. It's even more difficult to understand how he must have been feeling when he took the leap. :(
Anyway, I filled my MD with his songs and listened to them the whole day (instead of Jay). Think it's a little silly to do this. But this is all I can do in memory of him.
If I can feel so emotional, I really wonder how his die-hard fans are taking this.
May he rest in peace and may his fans be strong and move on.

I applaud Leslie for his courage to stand up and pronounce his sexuality, in this still closed minded society. I applaud him for his acting in the many films that I have loved and enjoyed (farewell, my concubine, he's a woman, she's a man, a chinese ghost story and so many more). i applaud him for his poignant songs, especially zhui.
thank you, Leslie. you will be missed.

seriously..More and more great artists are leaving us...
last year Roman Tam then Leslie Cheung..Who's next?

One of Leslie's fans interviewed in the news said that she moved from Japan to Hong Kong because of him... felt really sad for her cos she must have been devastated. My heart goes out to the Hong Kong people... as if SARs was not bad enough, now one of their icons has died so tragically.

Stanlore is right, Leslie Cheung is a legendary figure, and his songs and films hold testament to a rare and brave talent. He dared to reveal his sexuality to a intolerant society but did not let it overshadow is work. Amazing actor, superb singer... it just goes to show what heartbreak and pain can do to a soul.
Leslie Cheung - Rest In Peace

i dont know if im the only one thinking this, but i read abt how some leslie fans in singapore flew to HK despite sars to pay him their last respects. Made me think abt what i would do if jay died. okok, maybe i shldnt be saying this, but did this cross u guys' minds? *shudder* *spits to get rid of bad luck*
I heard from my mom, who's been watching cable all day to catch all leslie's news, that he had been to the hospital to collect a medical report before proceeding to the hotel to jump. So the suspicion now is that he may have contracted some illness... thus the last phrase in his suicide note: "I've never done anything bad in this life, why this??"

Appluads petheads for the comments. Really gd.
Yeah man..
we should all respect this man for all his acheivements in life. Being brave enough to come clean w himself being gay needs to be applauded as well.
Read in the papers tt the HK papparazzi was still bugging tONG, Leslie's lover for the reason of his death.
Guess the HK papparazzi should really give all his friends n family members a break. They are jsut ruining pple's life w all their unethical stalking of pple and irresponsible reporting.
papparazzi sucks man as its all just propaganda.
Dun mean to be violent here but alwaes gets so aggitated tt the papparazzi alwaes does all this shit. Esp the HK ones.
Earlier back in 2001-2001, Jacky Wu was also hounded and there was a period where he was also quite stressed.
Remeber the publicity surrounding Little S and Jiao Jiao.
These pple should get on w their life althogh it is their job. Its really unethical, so many of the stuff they does are really too untrue to beleive.

Leslie Cheung is more of my generation. So.. if your around the age of 20, you know what i mean. He was my first idol, i remember my mom telling me, at the age of 2-3 i could already sing his songs..
i'm from that generation.
leslie became my 1st HK idol when we started watching the old Hong Kong serials. some of you probably don't know that he starred in those. he was such a fine, handsome actor. he could be a cassonva, a police detective, a spoilt rich man' son ... and eventually, of course, he also played gay roles with so much ease.
during the time leslie fans grouped against alan tam fans, i was there , growing up. at that time, i was having a difficult with my mom - but the only thing that we agreed on was leslie sang better. we bothe loved "fung gai juk chui - the wind blows". it's a beautiful song and was originally a japanese wong but leslie made it a hit and a song to remember by.
my best friend sns-ed me abt his death. it was the night ofl 1st april here in malaysia but i knew this friend would not play a joke on me. she loved him too.
i jumped out from bed and surfed the Net for something but as i knew no chinese, i didn't find anything. the next morning, i was practically waiting for the newspaper guy to hand me my papers. and there it was at the front page of our malaysian papers - the sad truth.
i was devastated.
still am.
the passing of leslie cheung affected me. more so because he chose to take his own life in such a dark way.
to leslie, you did not live in vain. you were an accomplished actor and singer. you were loved.
Rest in peace....

it's really sad, cuz the whole of hk is down. i was watching the news yesterday, and many of his fans were standing outside the mandarin oriental, where he committed suicide, holding candles and singing his songs. it was really sad watching them cuz it was raining and they were all crying at the same time...
you can tell that the whole city is really depressed about his passing because we were even talking about it in church. most of the local hk channels are replaying his movies and stuff. and yesterday, many hk artists such as allen tam, kelly chen... did a tribute show for him and they talked about their experiences with him and they were singing his songs. ahh... so sad... and kelly was crying too. they all dyed their hair back to black instead of the unnatural colours that they usually have
you know how leslie cheung is nominated for the hk movie award thing, I think he’s going to win…

Oh gosh... I'm very sad too... Especially because Leslie Cheung is the symbol of Cantopop of Hong Kong. His acting in many movies have vastly impressed me. Jay had also re-sung his song "Zhui" which sounded tastefully great in another sense.. It still baffles me why he committed suicide, hope that his family or life time partner,Mr tong would reveal the cause of his attention-seeked death.
i just think that it's a waste. im not a big fan of his but he's really a v gd actor.. n committed too.

This is sad...
I was watching the live telecast of the funeral and I just cried & cried... and subsequently every newpaper article I read just brought tears to my eyes.
Think it's gonna take sometime before I can get over this...
I really wish him well.

a lot of the rumors made up by the hk reporters were leslie was having relationship problem with tong tong (his bf)... but whatever, that's bull cuz leslie's niece (?) said that leslie had depression for quite a while. tong tong and leslie's former manager were the only ones standing by him for 15 years of support~
also... one of the hk reporters from apple daily digged up garbages outside of leslie's home just to say that leslie was having relationship problem. that's just totally unrespectful and "low c.".
it is quite sad with what has been going on in hk. first it was roman tam who passed away from cancer (?), then the SARS, now leslie cheung. anyways, R.I.P. leslie.

Mr.Tong said in an interview that leslie had attempted suicide last November. he took sleeping pills.
i think his close pals and relatives know why. they say they are not ready to disclose it yet. one theory is that leslie became very sad his voice is changing ... due to some gastro problem that he has.
serendipity, i'm also unable to get over the whole thing .... whenever they play his ballads on radio, i just can't help sobbing. my mom even asked me to stop being so emotional bcos she can't understand why i'm reacting so strongly to the death of someone who i have not met before.
awww Mom! i grew up with leslie!
well, sorta.
all my friends agree that we are grieving over the lost of a good friend.

he was a gay but he was proud to be a gay. though some of his friends didnt encourage or agree with his lifestyle, he still continues to lead the way he like...
yes though i'm a christian i dont really agree with that kindda lifestyle, but then i really admire his courage and his 'i-suit-myself' atittude...he wear women's clothes in his concert, behaved like a women to the world out there...i mean who the hell will have such courage?
too many attentions has been put into him and his bf...which causes pressure between the both of them. i guess...maybe its a good thing for him to 'go'...as in..he can just put down everything and RIP.
