April 1, 2003: When Hong Kong Failed to Catch a Star
The April Fool's Day of 2003 marks the saddest 'joke' ever, when Leslie Cheung, Hong Kong's iconic star, fell from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. His unexpected way of ending his 46-year life had shocked the people of Hong Kong and million fans across Asia. Despite the SARS epidemic outbreak in 2003, people gathered to mourn his death, adding grievances to virus-stricken city.
As an important figure in Hong Kong cinema and Cantopop, Leslie Cheung had developed a broad-ranging filmography and discography: In addition to his multilangual music career, he had partnering with arthouse directors like Wong Kar-wai and Stanley Kwan and starred in commercial movies and Lunar New Year comedies.
Three years before Hong Kong's handover in 1994, he appeared in Peter Chan's He's a Woman, She's a Man, as a musician. In the first scene, he was playing Beatles' "Twist & Shout" and hearing a friend of his father reminiscing the energetic, Westernized 1960s in Hong Kong but speculating the property market in the present 1990s.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung was cast by Wong Kar-wai as the lover of Tony Chiu-wai Leung in Happy Together. The couple ran away from Hong Kong to Argentina, hoping to "start all over again" in their weary relationship.
17 years went by: Hong Kong is facing another epidemic outbreak and the origin of the new coronavirus is still China. This time the coronavirus has been spread much more extensively, sweeping almost all continents of the world.
The memories of Leslie Cheung linger in Hong Kong, as his supporters commemorate his passing outside the Mandarin Hotel every year. Despite the police's repeated warning keep distance, people still gathered this year with flowers, photos and words in memory of the charismatic Leslie Cheung, a representative of Hong Kong cinema and Cantonese pop music under the menacing circumstances.
