How did Leslie Cheung die?

What's upstairs is basically nonsense. My brother suffered from severe depression, and he died of illness. Please don't make irresponsible responses to unclear friends, and please respect the deceased.

Depression is a common mental illness, which does not mean that you are narrow-minded, nor that you are poor in quality or weak in will. On the list of patients with depression, there are many historical celebrities: abraham lincoln (the 6th president of the United States/kloc-0), theodore roosevelt (the 32nd president of the United States), Vincent Van Gogh (the Dutch post-impressionist painter), Winston Churchill (the British Prime Minister) and Marilyn Monroe (the American movie star). And Leslie Cheung and Cui Yongyuan, which we are familiar with.

Leslie Cheung Suicide Truth Reveals:

On April 1 day, 2003, Leslie Cheung, desperate, jumped from the window on the 6th floor of Mandarin Oriental Hotel/KLOC-0 in Central, ending his 46-year-old youth helplessly. Different media reports have different views on the day of Leslie Cheung's suicide. On April 1 2003, did Leslie Cheung see Mr. Tang dating a handsome guy? What was Leslie Cheung's last abnormal performance? What did Leslie Cheung write in his last will? All this is known only to Leslie Cheung's close friend, Ms. Chen Shufen. As a close friend of Ms. Chen, for a long time after her brother's death, reporters were afraid to mention any topic about his brother to her. Because my brother is a lingering pain in Mrs. Chen's heart, even a slight touch will make Mrs. Chen heartbroken. It was not until the fifth month after my brother left us that the reporter and Mrs. Chen formally sat together and gradually transitioned from other topics to the sad past that my brother could not bear to look back on the day of his death.

Leslie Cheung's last voice, he said he wanted to see Hongkong clearly.

Reporter: Mrs. Chen, I want to ask you a question that will definitely make you feel very sad-every newspaper has a different way of writing about many things on the day my brother died, but different reports are different. I really want to know what happened on April 1 2003.

Mrs Chen: My brother invited a friend out to dinner that day, so I called him, but Mr Tang Hede answered the phone. I said, "Where's Leslie?" He said, "He said to go out for a walk. I invited him to play badminton at seven in the evening. " Then I asked Mr. Tang where his brother was. He said that he was having tea with friends of the Central Generation. I said, "OK, I'll call him and contact you later."

Reporter: Did you call your brother?

Mrs. Chen: Because my office building is in Wan Chai, near Central. I called him, but he didn't answer my phone. I have a message box, so I left a message and asked my brother to call me when he was free. I didn't expect him to call me soon, because I think it will take him some time to talk to others.

Reporter: What did my brother say on the phone?

Mrs. Chen: After receiving his call, I asked him where he was. He said he was still in Central. I said what he was doing in Central. He said he was drinking tea. When I asked who to have tea with, he said it was just himself. I also complained that he didn't ask me to have tea. I offered to go to him, but he said he was leaving. I asked him where he was going, and he said to go shopping. So I said I would go shopping with him, and he agreed. I know he is going to play ball with Mr. Tang at seven o'clock. I don't have much time to look down at my watch, so I have to put down the phone and look for him.

Reporter: Don't you think your brother has a problem at this time?

Mrs. Chen: Just as I was about to put the phone down, he said he wanted to take this opportunity to see Hong Kong clearly. I asked him what he wanted to see clearly in Hong Kong, and then I heard that something was wrong with him. Then I said, have you left? If you haven't left, I'll come to you. Brother said that's good, then come here. I took a taxi directly to the Mandarin Hotel in Central, but I didn't see him in the front hall. Then I went to a coffee shop where we often talked together. As soon as I went in, people asked me how many people there were. I said I was looking for Leslie. Then the waiter said that he seemed to think he was not here. I said we had an appointment, and he must be here, so I looked around there but couldn't find him.

Leslie Cheung has no rival in love. The media is talking nonsense.

Reporter: It is reported that my brother was very angry when he saw Mr. Tang with another man on the day of his suicide. There seems to be no such situation.

Mrs. Chen: That's right. Those media are talking nonsense. Mr. Tang didn't see his brother at all that day. My brother is waiting for me at the hotel. I called him after I didn't see him, and this time he answered the phone. I said I was here. Where are you? He said he had just gone out. Let me have a cup of tea there and wait for a while. He will be back soon. Then I waited for him for half an hour, but I haven't seen him yet. Afterwards, I thought that he might be thinking about many things alone at this time, and his thoughts must be in a fierce conflict.

Reporter: How did you come to the front of the hotel to see that sad scene?

Mrs. Chen: After waiting for 40 minutes, I got a call from him. "You wait for me at the gate of the hotel in five minutes, wait for me at the main entrance, and then I'll come." Because I looked at the time, it was almost 6: 30, and then he was going to play ball at 7: 00, so time was definitely running out. I know my brother is going out by car, so I am anxious to pay the bill. Because I know that parking is not allowed in this place in front of the hotel, but I went out soon and waited at the door, but I didn't see him.

Reporter: Did the accident happen at this time?

Mrs. Chen: After waiting for five minutes, suddenly there was a loud noise. As soon as I heard it, I felt as if something had fallen. It's loud. Then I looked in the direction of the sound and saw something fall to the ground. Some guardrails in front of the hotel were damaged by falling objects. At that time, I thought it was a traffic accident because I saw a bus next to a man. I immediately turned around and called out the people (hotel attendants) there. I said I hurt someone. Please find an ambulance quickly.

Reporter: You didn't know it was your brother who fell to the ground, did you?

Mrs. Chen: Yes. I thought at that time, my brother was sick (depressed) at that time. I was afraid that he would be stimulated when he saw that scene, so I rushed over and tried to stop his car so that he wouldn't see the situation here. But as soon as I ran over, I thought I'd rather not. What if he hasn't arrived yet? What if he is caught in a traffic jam? If he hasn't arrived yet, I want to run to the street and grab his car so that he won't pass by this place.

I can't believe that's my brother. Is he Leslie Cheung?

Reporter: How did you find that the situation was not good?

Mrs. Chen: As soon as I called him, the phone returned to the recorded message just now, so I began to feel something was wrong. Because he was on the phone just now, why isn't he connected now? He should drive! My brother didn't turn on his cell phone, which made me feel a little strange, so I ran back to have a look. I dare not go near. I went there and asked the waiter to find an ambulance. ...

Reporter: So the situation reported by the media is completely wrong?

Mrs. Chen: Yes, it is nonsense to say that my brother saw Mr. Tang and a little boy followed him. My brother just asked me out, not anyone else. Mr. Tang wasn't there at all. At that time, Mr. Tang was playing ball.

Reporter: Can you tell us something about the relationship between your brother and Mr. Tang?

Mrs. Chen: They have been friends for more than 20 years and have always had a good relationship. There is no such thing as jealousy. I just feel sorry for Mr. Tang's assistant. For example, Mr. Tang just invited one person to help him. Now this man seems to be a semi-public figure, and many people insist that he is his brother's "rival in love". How ridiculous do you think this is? I think it will be very difficult if you quit him and let him find a job elsewhere. If he hires an assistant for no reason, he will become his lover. I think this statement is really boring. Many people (journalists) know that there is no such thing, but they have to write it for the so-called "explosive news".

Reporter: After you arrived at the hospital, were you sure that the injured person who fell was his brother?

Mrs. Chen: Yes, I won't know until the hospital. Because I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it, I have a bad feeling, so I have been very uneasy, so I followed the ambulance to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, I asked a policeman present where the man who just came in was now, his last name and name. I said I didn't know his name. I just suspect that he is my friend. Then the policeman looked at me and asked, "Is he Leslie Cheung?" That policeman said that because he knew me. I used to be ... (sobbing)

Reporter: What did you do after you confirmed that the injured person was your brother?

Mrs. Chen: The first thing I did was to ask my security guard to protect my brother's body from being photographed by the media, because he was most angry about it. Many people asked me to write a book and invited me to visit it, but I didn't, because there was nothing to write, so I hoped they wouldn't scribble. (crying)

His suicide note is in the lawyer's building. Let him write.

Reporter: Many media have reported different versions of my brother's suicide note. Can you clarify it?

Mrs. Chen: He didn't write any suicide note before jumping off the building. His suicide note was written a long time ago and handed over to the lawyer.

Reporter: Why did my brother write a suicide note in advance?

Mrs. Chen: I wrote a suicide note because he was very ill (depressed) during 1 year.

Reporter: What was my brother's condition at that time?

Mrs. Chen: He is very depressed. His illness is that many things can't control his emotions, just like his own hands and feet sometimes can't control them, so it's very difficult for him, and he doesn't even dare to see a doctor. When he goes to get medicine, people (media reporters) will write that he went to see a psychiatrist. Then you know that he has high self-esteem. How can he let people write like this? And the media will not be very clear when writing. At that time, all these things were a stimulus to him.

Reporter: What was the content of his previous suicide note?

Mrs. Chen: This suicide note seems to be because he is afraid of something. It is not normal for people to write suicide notes now. He did write some words, mainly to explain what was behind him, and then he had to thank some people.

Reporter: Are you sure your brother didn't write anything at the scene?

Mrs. Chen: He just wrote a piece of paper at the scene to thank some people, which means he is ill. But this is by no means a suicide note.

Reporter: How did my brother and Mr. Tang face the scandal before?

Mrs. Chen: In the past, if there was any scandal or anything, they would not clarify or respond, but they would clarify everything with actions. But there is no such opportunity now. If Mr. Tang does not speak out to clarify, it will be very unfair to Mr. Tang, especially to our brother who left us. Mr. Tang asked me to do this, so I accepted an interview with the media, but I only told the reporters of Ming Pao Weekly something, because I can trust them to write this fact.

Negative reports hurt him and ruined the whole concert.

Reporter: Mrs. Chen, why do you think my brother is unhappy? Are you too tired?

Mrs. Chen: I think he is a man with strong self-esteem. People who haven't seen his symptoms this year won't know how painful he is. If you come into contact with some patients with depression, you may know something about it. But I've never been in contact with this kind of patient before. Later, because he got the disease, I began to accompany him to see a doctor. The doctor showed us a lot of information about what happens to people with depression, so I began to understand and know a lot. You can't imagine how much he wants to be better. He has been seeing a doctor. He can't accept the fact that he has this disease because he has everything. Now he has chosen his favorite job. How can such a person have depression? It's hard to imagine! No one will believe it. You don't say!

Reporter: Can you tell me the specific reason why my brother suffers from depression?

Mrs. Chen: Of course, there are many reasons, many accumulated things. The biggest reason is the harm that the concert brought to him. His concert was very good, but it was a great blow. Why are we going back to Hong Kong for the last performance? I want to give him a support because some people didn't know how to look at it before. The media outside Hong Kong are very good. They will write the performance of the whole concert with their heart, not the paparazzi. In their report (Hong Kong paparazzi), they didn't mention anything about what songs, lights and stereos they sang that night. They just wrote long hair and sent a missing photo, which ruined the whole concert ... (crying).

Reporter: My brother has everything. What caused him to get such a disease?

Mrs. Chen: The report about the concert. Many things that my brother cares about can only be said in my heart. (Crying), when he is free, he will think that maybe many things that made him feel wronged made him start to get this disease. He didn't know when he was ill. Later, the disease began to show some pathological reactions: shaking hands, falling asleep, sweating ... When these things happened, he went to see a doctor. All the doctors said that his body was fine, his liver was fine, his heart was fine, and everything was fine. He feels so strange-I'm basically not sick, am I? Then why do I sweat, why can't I sleep, and why do these things happen? Because my brother has always attached great importance to health, he himself is a person who doesn't smoke, drink and have no nightlife. So what's wrong with a healthy person? Why do you suddenly see so many seemingly abnormal phenomena? We don't know. Every doctor in all the tests said he was fine, and experts also said he was fine.

When the disease broke out, you were in pain, which was really distressing.

Reporter: What was my brother's state when he was seriously ill?

Mrs. Chen: My brother never thought of seeing a psychiatrist himself. He was really miserable at his worst. When he became ill, his muscles ached all over, as if to tear his flesh. Very painful. Different conditions at different stages made him miserable, which made him miserable. Besides, he still has a lot of work to do. He dare not promise every job. He wants to do it very much, but he can't promise others to do it. Because once promised, what if he gets sick and can't finish the work? So everyone doesn't know that the year before his death was a very painful year.

Reporter: What is your current status?

Mrs. Chen: Actually, I really miss my brother (crying). When you are alone, when you miss him, you can't control your emotions ... (crying).

Reporter: Mrs. Chen, don't be too sad. I think this may be a good destination for my brother, because he is too pursuing perfection.

Mrs. Chen: I believe he thinks so himself. He doesn't want to be a … because he really doesn't know when he will be well, and the doctor can't tell him. He is getting out of control of his situation. What he fears most is that if something goes wrong in public, he will look like him when someone writes about him. He really doesn't want these things to happen to him, so this choice (crying) ... I know, in fact, he is very reluctant. He just wants to get better soon. The doctor said he could drink a little red wine, no problem, but he didn't drink any, because he wanted to get better soon.
