How and why did Leslie Cheung die?

Suffering from severe depression, Leslie Cheung died of illness. The truth about suicide came out: on April 1 day, 2003, 18: 4 1, desperate Leslie Cheung jumped from the window on the 24th floor of Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central, and ended his 46-year-old flower life helplessly. Different media have different reports on the day of Leslie Cheung's suicide. On April 1 2003, did you 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 Mrs. Chen, for a long time after her brother died, the reporter was 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 heartache. 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 to the Hong Kong newspaper reporter who read it carefully: 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 many things on the day of my brother's death, but different reports are different. I wonder what happened in April 2003 1? Mrs Chen: My brother invited a friend out for 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 he was having tea with friends from the Central Generation. I said, "well, I'll call him and contact you later." Reporter: Did you call your brother? Mrs. Chen: Because my office building is in Wan Chai, which is very close to Central. I called him, but he didn't answer my phone. I got 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 thought it would take him some time to talk to someone else. 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. I said who to have tea with, and he said he was alone. I also complained that he didn't ask me to have tea. I offered to look for 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 there is something wrong with your brother 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 who I was. 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. He must be here. I just walked around there and couldn't find him. No rival in love in Leslie Cheung. The media is simply a reporter who writes nonsense: it is reported that Mr. Tang got angry when he saw another man on the day his brother committed suicide. There seems to be no such situation. Mrs. Chen: Yes. Those media are simply writing nonsense. Mr. Tang didn't see his brother at all that day. My brother is waiting for me at the hotel. I called him again 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 and I haven't seen him yet. Afterwards, I thought that he might be thinking a lot of things alone at this time, and his thoughts must be in 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, 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 knew my brother was going to drive out, so I was in a hurry 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 without seeing him. Reporter: Did the accident happen at this time? Mrs. Chen: I waited for five minutes, and suddenly there was a loud voice. As soon as I heard it, I felt as if something had fallen. This is a loud voice. 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 person. I immediately turned around and called out the people (hotel waiters) 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 that my brother was sick (depressed). I was afraid that he would be stimulated when he saw that scene, so he ran to stop his car and not let him 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, then 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 from Leslie Cheung? Reporter: How did you find that the situation was not good? Mrs. Chen: Because as soon as I called him, the phone returned to the recorded message just now, and I began to feel something was wrong. Because he was on the phone just now, why isn't it on now? He should drive! My brother didn't turn on his cell phone. I felt a little strange, so I ran back to have a look. I dare not go near to see it. 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's nonsense to say that my brother saw Mr. Tang and a little boy followed him. My brother just asked me out, not others. Mr. Tang was not at the scene 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 someone to help him. Now this man seems to be half a public figure, and many people insist that he is his brother's "rival in love". How ridiculous do you think this is? If you quit him and let him find a job elsewhere, I think it will be very difficult. If he hires an assistant for no reason, he becomes 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 couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it, I had a bad feeling, so I was always uneasy and followed the ambulance to the hospital. When I got to the hospital, I asked a policeman present where the man who just came in was now, what was his surname 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. I didn't, because there was nothing to write, so I hoped they wouldn't scribble. His suicide note is in the lawyer's building. Let him write it down. Reporter: Many media have reported different versions of my brother's suicide note. Can you clarify? 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 a lawyer. Reporter: Why did my brother write a suicide note in advance? Mrs. Chen: I wrote my 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 hands and feet can't control them sometimes, so it's very difficult for him, and he doesn't even dare to see a doctor. He went to find someone to get medicine, and people (media reporters) would 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 when the media writes, it won't be clear. 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 very abnormal for people to write suicide notes now. He did write some words, mainly explaining what was behind him, and then he wanted 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, thanking some people and explaining that he was ill. But that is by no means a suicide note. Reporter: How did my brother and Mr. Tang face the scandal before? Mrs. Chen: Neither of them will clarify or respond to any scandals in the past, but they will 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 his brother who left us. Mr. Tang asked me to do this, so I did an interview with the media, but I only told the reporters of Ming Pao Weekly a little, because I could trust them to write this fact. It's really distressing when the illness is the worst. Reporter: What was the state of my brother's illness at its worst? Mrs. Chen: My brother never thought of seeing a psychiatrist himself. His worst time was really distressing. When he had an attack, 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's your current status? Mrs. Chen: Actually, I really miss my brother (crying). When you are alone, you can't control your emotions when you think about him ... (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 get better, and the doctor can't say for sure. He is losing control of his situation. He is most afraid of having an accident in public. When others write about him, he will become like 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 it at all because he wanted to get better soon.
