In 2003, the first day of April. April was originally beautiful, just as the poet Lin Huiyin once wrote a poem in the ** period, "I said that you are the April day in the world, and the laughter lights up the spring breeze" But it was in such a bright spring that a person who was called "brother" by many people chose to jump off the 24th floor on April 1st April Fool's Day.
ended the road of life that he didn't even finish half of his life. After he passed away in this way, everyone realized that depression had such a big impact on him, but in fact he chose to jump off the building for this reason. What is the secret behind all this?In this issue, let's talk about the story of this peerless "brother".
The ups and downs of your career.
This person who is called his brother by everyone is the singer Leslie Cheung, who was once popular all over the country in the ** decade. For his life, perhaps he is most satisfied with his career, but along the way, his career has not been smooth sailing, and it is only after experiencing ups and downs that he has made great achievements, so that in the 21st century, there are still many people who are his loyal fans.
Leslie Cheung's first step into the entertainment industry was in 1977, when he participated in a local competition in Hong Kong, and successfully won the second place, and after this recruitment, he successfully entered the first circle. In the next few years, he practiced his singing voice hard, hoping that he could seize this opportunity to prove himself, but it is impossible for people to have smooth sailing on the road to success, and they will only see the rainbow after going through hardships.
Leslie Cheung, who held a concert for the first time, received a blow, because he did not have a fan base at that time, and he thought that with his hard work, he could gain the love of others, but the truth was not as he thought. No one bought the records that the company gave him, and no one was willing to spend even a dollar of RMB to pay for his dream.
Seeing that no one in the audience cheered for him, this sensitive boy began to blame himself, he felt that everything was because of himself. After that, he devoted more time to his career, because he firmly believed that as long as he gave it would pay off, the day when things turned around in 1984.
With his unremitting persistence, he won two awards with a song in the ** released that year, and became a rising star in the music scene. In the days to come, he also proved that his persistence along the way was correct, not only gaining a large number of fans, but also winning many awards.
But there is another person in the music scene who has to be mentioned at the same time as him, that is Alan Tam, because the two of them entered the entertainment industry almost at the same time, although these two people themselves have not clashed, but their fans always feel that their idols are bullied. The fans of the two families quarreled because of this incident, so he made a bold decision under this circumstance, that is, to quit the music scene.
In 1989, Leslie Cheung said goodbye to his fans at his farewell concert, and the most impressive sentence was that he hoped that in the future, when others mentioned the singers of the first decade, fans could think of themselves. Although in 1995, he announced his comeback, but he also stated that he would not receive the ** award that competes with others in the future, just to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Leslie Cheung is also a talented player on his acting path, and during the period after he announced his retirement from the music scene, he won the Best Actor at the 10th Academy Awards for his participation in "Forrest Gump". This film is also one of the masterpieces of Hong Kong literary films, although this is a glamorous achievement, but only he knows how many unknown hardships there are, and excessive demands on his perfection will only increase the pressure on himself.
Love that is not understood by the world.
When it comes to Leslie Cheung's love, there is one relationship that is least understood by some people, but he still chooses to fight for love. The reason why that relationship was special was because he fell in love with a man, Mr. Tang, and the two of them had known each other since childhood, but when he was a teenager, he broke off contact with each other because he studied abroad.
But people who are destined can't be separated, in 1982, because of a party, the two of them reunited after a long absence, at that time he was at the trough of his career, and the two people had different feelings for each other in their dealings. They didn't find it strange, but accepted the relationship naturally, because of the different careers of the two people, Mr. Tang chose to resign on his own, on the one hand, to take care of him, and on the other hand, to be together.
So after the two of them are together, they will see that where Leslie Cheung appears, they will see his figure, some news that likes to capture gossip**, and they are very keen to discover this unusual place. So he began to make a big fuss about this matter, which had a great impact on the relationship between the two of them, and the relationship fluctuated because of it.
In order to protect Mr. Tang, Leslie Cheung began to deliberately keep a distance from him, but even this did not stop those ill-intentioned people from speculating wildly, and for a while, reports about Leslie Cheung's homosexuality emerged one after another. In this situation, he followed his heart and made this relationship public, still at his concert.
At his concert in 1997, he expressed his heart with a song, and perhaps at that moment he made a decision, he never regretted it. But this gave others the ** who attacked him, and in the next few years, he also held a concert, just because he wore clothes that did not meet the public's aesthetics at the concert, and began to be ridiculed by many **yin and yang.
Maybe it's because those people are envious of his success, so when they grasp something, they will always make a big fuss. Many things together also made Leslie Cheung's heart begin to suffer, if he announced his feelings, those unscrupulous ** did not personally attack him, would the final result be different.
An unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to **.
In fact, Leslie Cheung did not live the life he wanted even before his debut, and when everyone suffered setbacks in life, most of them would choose to confide in their parents, but even such a simple need, he had never felt it. In fact, his family is not poor, his father is a well-known tailor in Hong Kong, often making clothes for some rich people, and his mother is also a well-read lady.
In the eyes of outsiders, this may be a good family, but in fact, it has long been a mess inside, although Leslie Cheung's father is not short of money, but it is also because of this that he often lingers in all kinds of flowers. Naturally, his mother would not allow such a situation to happen, so she often asked someone to investigate her husband, so that his parents had no time to spend with him.
Leslie Cheung has many children in the family, he is the youngest of ten children, although for some irresistible reasons, one of his sisters and two brothers died. His brother, who was the youngest in age, was also eight years older than him, so when he was young, no one wanted to take him to play.
Without the company of his parents and family, there is only a nanny named Sixth Sister, who is one of the few lights in his ordinary life in childhood, which not only takes care of his daily life, but also teaches him many truths. Even so, he still lacks the children that his parents love, so in order to attract the attention of his parents, he always finds the right opportunity to cause trouble.
In fact, his idea is very simple, that is, he hopes to attract the attention of his parents, even if he beats him and scolds him because of his mistakes, he is very willing. But in doing so, he also inadvertently pushed himself into another abyss, when he was thirteen years old, his parents sent him abroad to study without his consent, without the slightest consideration of the true needs of a child's heart.
Thirteen-year-old Leslie Cheung is abroad, a person who is not familiar with life in a foreign country, and we don't know what kind of isolated life he lived during that time. According to his own recollection, during that time, every time he missed home, he would send a letter to his family, but these letters seemed to go unanswered.
At that time, Leslie Cheung thought that he was going to live abroad alone, knowing that when he was in college, his family sent a message saying that he should go home, and he was full of joy thinking that his parents finally remembered him. When I got home, I realized that it was my father who was seriously ill and let me come back.
After his father's death, he also tried to repair his relationship with his mother, but the mother and son, who had not seen each other for many years, were filled with strangeness when they got along again. But after all, the relationship between mother and son is thicker than water, but unfortunately, after the relationship between the two eased, his mother passed away, which was a very heavy blow to him.
Looking back at Leslie Cheung's life, his strict requirements for himself in his career, not being blessed in love, the huge vacancy in family affection, and severe depression are all reasons why he chose to jump from the 24th floor. Now, 19 years have passed since his death, and as he wished, many people have not forgotten his "brother".
