How and why did Leslie Cheung die?

Leslie Cheung died of severe depression. The truth of suicide was revealed: at 18: 41 on April 1st, 23, desperate Leslie Cheung jumped from the window on the 24th floor of Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central, and ended his 46-year-old blooming life. Different media reports have different opinions about the situation on the day of Leslie Cheung's suicide. On April 1st, 23, did Leslie Cheung see Mr. Tang dating a handsome boy? What was Leslie Cheung's last abnormal performance? What did Leslie Cheung write in his last will? All this was known only to Leslie Cheung's close friend, Ms. Chen Shufen. As a close friend of Mrs. Chen, the reporter dared not mention any topic about her brother (Leslie Cheung nickname) to her for a long time after his death. Because my brother is the 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 to read the Hong Kong reporter 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 about many things on the day of my brother's death, but different reports are different. I really want to know what happened on April 1, 23. 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 is Leslie?" He said, "He said to go out for a walk. I invited him to play badminton at seven o'clock in the evening. " Then I asked Mr. Tang where his brother was. He said that he was having tea with friends in the Central Generation. I said, "Well, I'll call him and I'll contact you later." Reporter: Did you call your brother? Mrs Chen: Because my office building is in Wan Chai, which is 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 that he would call me soon, because I thought it would take a while for him to talk to someone else. Reporter: What did my brother say on the phone? Mrs. Chen: After receiving his phone call, I asked him where he was. He said he was still in Central, I said what he was doing in Central, and he said he was having tea. When I said who to have tea with, he said it was just himself. I also complained that he didn't call me for tea. I offered to go to him, but he said he was leaving. I asked him where he was going, and he said Shopping. So I said I would go shopping with him, and he agreed. I know he's going to play ball with Mr. Tang at seven o'clock, and 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 Hong Kong clearly, and then I heard that something was wrong with him. Then I said, have you left or not? If you haven't left, I'll come and find you. Brother said that's good, then come here. I went directly to the Mandarin Hotel in Central by taxi, but I didn't see him in the front hall. Then I went to a coffee shop where we often chatted together. As soon as I entered, people asked me how many people 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, and he must be here, so I went around there without finding him. There is no rival in love in Leslie Cheung. The media is simply writing nonsense reporters: it is reported that Mr. Tang was angry when he saw another man on the day of his brother's suicide. It seems that there is no such situation. Mrs Chen: That's right. Those media are simply writing nonsense. Mr. Tang didn't see his brother at all that day. My brother was 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, but I haven't seen him yet. Afterwards, I thought that he might be thinking a lot of things by himself 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 4 minutes, I got a call from him. "You wait for me at the hotel gate in five minutes, at the main entrance, and then I will come." Because I looked at the time, it was almost 6: 3, and then he was going to play ball at 7: , so time was definitely running out. I knew my brother was driving out, so I was anxious to pay the bill and go out. Because I know this place in front of the hotel is not allowed to park, but I went out soon and waited at the door without seeing him. Reporter: Did the accident happen at this time? Mrs. Chen: After waiting for five minutes, suddenly there was a loud voice. As soon as I heard it, I felt as if something had fallen. It was a loud sound. Then I looked in the direction of the sound and saw something fall to the ground. Some guardrails in front of the hotel were broken by falling objects. At that time, I thought it was a traffic accident because I saw a man with a bus next to him. I immediately turned around and called the people there (the hotel waiter) out. I said I hurt someone. Please go and 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) at that time. I was afraid that he would be stimulated when he saw that scene, so I ran over quickly 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 better not. What if he hasn't arrived yet? What if he is stuck in a traffic jam? If he hasn't arrived yet, then I want to run to the street and rob his car, so 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 went back to the recorded message just now, so I began to feel something wrong. Because he was on the phone just now, why isn't it on now? And he should be driving! My brother didn't turn on the phone, which made me feel a little strange, so I ran back to have a look. I didn't dare to 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 is nonsense to say that my brother saw Mr. Tang at that time, and that there was a little boy following him. My brother simply asked me out, not anyone else, and 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 2 years, and their feelings have always been very good. There is no such thing as jealousy. I just feel sorry for Mr. Tang's assistant. For example, Mr. Tang just invited a person to help him. Now this person 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 will become his lover. I think this statement is really boring, and many people (reporters) know that there is no such thing, but they have to write it for the so-called "explosive news". Reporter: Are you sure that the injured person who fell down was his brother after you arrived at the hospital? Mrs. Chen: Yes, I won't know until I get to the hospital. Because I didn't dare to believe it, and I didn't want to believe it, I had a bad feeling, so I was always uneasy, so I followed the ambulance to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, I asked a police officer who was 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 suspected that he was a friend of mine. Then the policeman looked at me and asked, "Is he Leslie Cheung?" That policeman said this because he knew me. I was ... (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 the most angry about it. Many people asked me to write a book and invite me to visit, but I didn't, because there was nothing to write, so I hoped they wouldn't scribble. (Crying) His suicide note was 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 it? Mrs. Chen: He didn't write any suicide note before jumping off the building. His suicide note was written long ago and handed over to a 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) this year. Reporter: What was my brother's condition at that time? Mrs Chen: He is depressed. His illness is that many things can't control his own emotions, just like his own hands and feet sometimes can't control them, so he is very difficult, and he even dares not go to see a doctor. When he goes to someone to get medicine, people (media reporters) will write that he went to see a psychiatrist. Then you know that he has a strong self-esteem. How can he let people write like this? Moreover, when the media writes, it will not be clear. At that time, any of these things were a stimulus to him. Reporter: What was the content of his suicide note before? Mrs. Chen: This suicide note seems to be because he is afraid of something happening. Now it is not very abnormal for people to write a suicide note. 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, thanking some people, which means he is ill. But that 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, neither of them would clarify or respond, but they would clarify everything with actions. But now there is no such opportunity. If Mr. Tang doesn't speak and 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 made an interview with the media, but I only told the reporters of Ming Pao Weekly something, because I could trust them to write this fact. It's really distressing when the illness is the worst. Reporter: What is the state when my brother's illness is the most serious? Mrs. Chen: My brother never thought of seeing a psychiatrist himself. His worst time was really distressing. When he had an attack, all his muscles ached as if he were going to tear his flesh apart. It was very painful. Different conditions at different stages made him miserable, which made him miserable. Moreover, he still has a lot of work to do. He is afraid to promise every job. He really wants to do it, but there is no way to 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 ... (Cry). Reporter: Don't be too sad, Mrs. Chen. 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 become a … because he really doesn't know when he will be well, and the doctor can't tell him. He can't control his situation more and more. He is most afraid that if something goes wrong in public, he will look like him when someone writes about him. He really doesn't want to let these things happen to him, so this choice (crying) ... I know, in fact, he is very reluctant. He just wants to get well soon. The doctor said that he can drink a little red wine, no problem, but he doesn't drink it at all, because he wants to get well soon.
