Tang Hede celebrated Leslie Cheung's 66th birthday. Why do we still miss Leslie Cheung?

I personally like Leslie Cheung, but I am not a fan of him, and I have never been a fan of any star. Therefore, I don't even miss him. There are only two kinds of people I miss, one is my closest relative; One kind is people who have had a deep intersection with me in real life. I think, if honest enough, many people will admit that their ideas are similar to mine.

I noticed such a phenomenon. Since Leslie Cheung's death, almost all the media will release news about Leslie Cheung as scheduled in April every year, which is unique among the movie stars we know. In the face of these recurring news, we all think that the whole world is missing Leslie Cheung, and it is fashionable to miss Leslie Cheung. In this overwhelming information dissemination, many people unconsciously miss Leslie Cheung. After all, Leslie Cheung is a harmless, even almost perfect existence in our hearts. From a psychological point of view, we can excrete our redundant emotions from this nostalgia, or get some emotional compensation.

Therefore, what we should explore is, among so many dead stars, why does Leslie Cheung enjoy the honor of making headlines every year?

To sum up, there are two reasons. First, the media needs hot topics to get traffic. Second, Leslie Cheung is a topic with high news value density, which makes it easy for the media to gain traffic quickly.

The first reason is easy for readers to understand, so I won't go into details here. Let's focus on the second reason. What do you mean? The news value density is extremely high? Generally speaking, a news protagonist has various topics of concern to the general public. Let's analyze this problem from three aspects.

1, Leslie Cheung's homosexual identity, it goes without saying that this identity is still a sensitive topic of concern to the general public in our time and society. Leslie Cheung's star aura further magnifies the communication effect of this topic;

2. Leslie Cheung's suicide was an abnormal death, and the weakness of human nature determines that the general public likes to watch this kind of media news.

3. On the positive side, whether in the entertainment circle or the fan circle, Leslie Cheung is an almost perfect person. This perfection can be simply summarized as: outstanding face value, hard work, exquisite acting, low-key, approachable, and heavy feelings and righteousness. These qualities not only make the media hesitate to publish articles to recall, but also leave praises for those who are familiar with him and those who are not familiar with him. More importantly, let people who like him get annual psychological comfort.

In a word, my opinion is that no matter whether we really miss Leslie Cheung or because of the influence of the media, Leslie Cheung is a memorable person. He is a unique color on the wall of that era, elegant, lonely and sad.
