1st April 2003 - 4 years had passed since the Canto Pop Singer Leslie Cheung (张国荣) ended his life in a tragic way (summore on April Fool Day). Although he was no longer around, his presence will remain in our hearts. I'm not really his fan but I do enjoy listening to his hit songs, such as 有誰共鳴，當年情，追, 共同渡過, 風繼續吹，全賴有你, 愛慕, Stand Up, 沉默是金, 红, 明星, Monica, 不羈的風，倩女幽魂, 无心睡眠, 黑色午夜, 风再起时, 由零开始, 第一次, 少女心事 etc..
rinnah, yeah loh.. i too thought it's a prank earlier on :(
wennnn, Woh.. u r his #1 kipas... my fren send me the sms that day regarding the suicide when I was inside the operating theatre. She too was unsure whether it's a joke or real thing cos it's April Fool Day. :(
ben, Wah.. then can karaoke 3 nights long liao? :P
u know wat? "my-kho-lo-phone" somehow sounds like .... Deduct the my, then it will sound like Chloroform liao.. Kkkkkk
I'm not really a Leslie fan either, but I do like a couple of his songs. what a pity he passed on. then again, young stars like him who die a tragic death live longer in our memories than those who die of old age, eh? sad but true...
Gosh... already 4 years ago? It feels like just 1 or 2 years ago...
Leslie's life is so tragic. Then I can't remember is it after or before Leslie, then Mei Yen Fang died of her cancer? A few weeks after they both died, [V] channel played the video clip where leslie and mei yen fang sang together in a concert. Can't remember the title of the song but it's a cantonese song.
Btw, yesterday on CCTV channel, there's a music program where they played those famous singers during their years and current year. It's a very nostalgic moment to see Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai, Wu (don't remember his full name) singing in the late 80s/beginning 90s. So cuteeee...
The only one who hasn't changed at all is Aaron Kwok, he still looks so young, no wrinkle,... hmmm wondering what kind of vitamins or cream or does he got botox injection, hehehe
yenjai, sad to say.. up to date, nobody can replace them.. they are like the king & queen of the stage.
nyonya, Some of his movies that I like are such as - A Better Tomorrow (英雄本色), He's a Woman, She's a Man (金枝玉葉 I) and Who's the Man, Who's the Woman (金枝玉葉 II), All's Well, Ends Well Too (花田喜事).
may, Come to think about it, there are quite a number of celebrities who passed away at young age. Not only that I have friends, coursemates, uni junior and ex-colleagues who passed away at young age too. Life is so fragile.... :(
lynnx, Yeah, the tragedy occured in 2003. How time flies.... It seems like yesterday though.. :(
selba, It seems like just happened not long ago, amazing how time flies...
Yeah, Anita Mui passed away in the same year, in late December 2003. Two of the hit cantonese songs that Leslie & Anita duet are 緣份 and 芳华绝代.
Aaron Kwok still looks young with no wrinkle? Hehehe, I didn't really follow the latest entertainment news on tv. Still prefer listening to old songs :P But I do know Andy Lau looks much older with wrinkles (or more mature?) compared to his early days ;)
very coincidence yesterday i out of no where went to google you tube his songs, and then you today say it's his anniversary. so ngam hor? *hair stands abit* somemore i not really hear his songs wan. *hair stands more*
Leslie's Better Tomorrow song is the bestest ever! The version by Andy Hui and William Soh is soooooo lame!!
My son was born 1 Apr 2004. Sometimes I wonder if Leslie got reincarnated as my son or not!! Must let him listen to some Leslie songs and see what happens!! :D
monkticon, yeah.. time flies.. seems like we just celebrate 2007 not long ago, and now it's April liao..
will, Aiyak.. I miss out that song dim :P
misti, Wah.. u dun really listen to his song wan & yet u google for his songs in you tube? Kekkeke.. very ngam liao.. wah.. hair can stand ah? no need to use hair gel liao :P
kyh, The other songs are mostly old songs in the 80's, might be that's why u are unfamiliar with :)
IMHO april fool is a foolish day leh.. Making fun of people not my cuppa tea. I hate those who made emergency prank calls to hospital or police station on April Fool. Those people are really brainless!!
woof2 & meow2, He looks young for his age.
kat, I dunno how's the version by Andy Hui and William Soh sounds like :) Cos most of the time, I still listen to the old songs of yester-years :)
Your son born on april fool day ah? Mmmmmm... must let him listen to Leslie's song liao !!! kekkeke

明星 is another sad song :(
当你见到天上星星 可会想起我
可会记得当年我的脸
曾为你更比星星笑得多
当你记起当年往事 你又会会如何
可会轻轻凄然叹喟
怀念我在你心中照耀过
我像那银河星星 让你默默爱过
更让那柔柔光辉 为你解痛楚
当你见到光明星星 请你想想起我
当你见到星河灿烂
求你在心中记住我
SA,
Come to think of it, I have some of his movies too...
*belated moment of silence for leslie*
butt,
I have been re-playing his song "Chase" (追) for quite some time liao...
Yes, every good thing will end.. just like a song, the singer and his life.
Leslie songs are always in my mind too..
Thanks for this post.
He was my idol!! sniff... sniff... so hamson, so young....
I love his songs. Still wish it was an April Fools' Day joke.
robin,
Yeah, we have to appreciate what we have now cos we will never know what might happen the next minute :)
This is life...
eastcoastlife,
Yeah, 4 years ago, many of us thought that was a cruel prank on April Fool Day, which sadly turn out to be true... aiyhh.... :(
