Footprint 1: Avenue of Stars-Star sign without handprint
In 2003, a company announced that it would spend 40 million Hong Kong dollars to renovate the waterfront promenade, and build Hong Kong’s "Avenue of Stars" on the original site according to the model of Hollywood’s "Avenue of Stars", and embed the names and palm prints of outstanding filmmakers in a special commemorative plaque. On April 28th, 2004, it was completed and opened to the public, and it was very lively for a while. Many stars left their signatures or handprints, but Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui regretted leaving a blank because of their unexpected deaths before the completion.
Reporter’s visit: Ten years later, the Avenue of Stars still surrounds the shore of Victoria Harbour, with a gentle sea breeze and fluttering skirts. For tourists, this is a scenic spot for taking photos. For Hong Kong locals, this is a natural playground. They jog among tourists without any sense of disobedience. While walking, I carefully left my name under my feet, and the star card faded and faded because of long-term friction. Leslie Cheung’s star sign is located in the middle of the whole avenue, and tourists come all the way, from "Wow, it’s Andy Lau!" "Jackie chan! Jackie Chan! " The joyful scream will always turn into a slow whisper here: "Well, it’s my brother". The location of the handprint is replaced by stars, which makes it look particularly sad. At this time, a girl came to her brother’s name, crouched, circled the shape of her heart with her hand and took photos. The shadow of this heart just fell on the stars. No language is needed. At that moment, I pressed the shutter.
Footprint 2: Peninsula Hotel-the easiest place to find my brother.
In 2002, in the lobby of Peninsula Hotel, Leslie Cheung was interviewed by Hong Kong media for the last time, that is, the famous article "I can call the wind and call the rain", and talked happily about the upcoming film. At the end, he suddenly suggested that the photographer take a picture of him standing up with the baroque ceiling as the background. "Only I can afford such a noble, elegant and gorgeous scene."
Reporter’s visit: The fountain in front of the Peninsula Hotel is still so beautiful. In the chat with Cha Xiaoxin, an old friend of Leslie Cheung, she mentioned this place many times, which is their favorite place to have tea and talk with each other. It is said that it is also the easiest place to find my brother in Hong Kong. The whole hotel is dominated by white, with a rich ancient flavor. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window under the blue striped umbrella. It was this window seat that Leslie Cheung used to sit most often before his death. Like ordinary tea drinkers, it took him two or three hours to finish a whole set of English afternoon tea.
Footprint 3: The former residence of Jialan Villa in Kadoorie Mountain-the most concentrated place to sell flowers.
Before April 1st, 2003, 32A of Jialan Villa was the favorite place for journalists to stay, catching Leslie Cheung and Tang Tang by flashing lights. Later, reporters occasionally came to take pictures of Tang Tang walking alone. Two years ago, Tang Tang moved away, and 32A became a little deserted.
Reporter’s visit: Cha Xiaoxin mentioned that after Leslie Cheung’s death, Tang Tang was reluctant to leave the old house where they lived together. Walking through a steep ramp and seeing a quiet residential area, you will find that everything in front of you is so familiar, as if you have been here a thousand times in your dream. This is my brother’s home. Usually, there are few pedestrians passing by here, and flowers and cards will be piled up every anniversary of my brother. It is said that many fans who go to Hong Kong will go to the flower market they must pass before going to my brother’s house to buy a bunch of flowers, which is the most concentrated place for selling flowers in Hong Kong. There is also a flower shop called Aimu. I don’t know if it is opened by Rong Fan.
Footprint 4: Madame Tussauds Wax Museum-Tourists Pursuing "Cheng Dieyi"
In 2000, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum was opened. On March 31st, 2004, after five months of production, a wax figure of Leslie Cheung costing 700,000 Hong Kong dollars settled here. The images and photos of the exhibition were all selected by Tang Tang and unveiled by Tang Tang, which made people feel sad.
Reporter’s Visit: Although many people said that the wax figure would not be too similar to the real person, I was still surprised when "Leslie Cheung" jumped into my eyes. Yes, the eyes, the eyes immediately poked the tears. It was Tang Tang’s decision that this brother stayed in the most beautiful age of 35, wearing a Chinese robe and appearing in the shape of "Cheng Dieyi". He looked at the top left, and the "Cheng Dieyi" behind him looked in the same direction, and people swarmed to take a group photo as a souvenir. I stopped far away, and there was a girl who was very special. He looked at the distance and she looked at him. This scene was beautiful.
Footprint 5: Hung Hom Gymnasium-My brother gave 121 concerts here.
In 1989, Leslie Cheung gave 33 concerts in the Red Pavilion and announced his retirement from music. He was only 33 years old that year. Cha Xiaoxin said, "He invited me to see it. I said I wouldn’t go. I don’t approve of your withdrawal." Since he first boarded the Red Pavilion in 1985, Leslie Cheung has held 121 solo concerts here, leaving too many smiles and tears about his brother on this stage.
Reporter’s visit: When the reporter from Huaxi Dushi Bao came to the Red Pavilion, everything was still quiet here. But on March 31st this year, the Red Pavilion is destined to become the focus of global fans’ attention again. Chen Shufen planned to hold a memorial concert of "Continue to spoil MISS YOU MUCH LESLIE for ten years" here. On the stage that my brother is most familiar with at ordinary times, when Chen Shufen starts, he wants to convey an "important message" to all fans.
Footprint 6: Mandarin Oriental Hotel-Tony Leung Chiu Wai loves to come here now.
On one occasion, Leslie Cheung was chatting with some friends. When talking about how much money is needed in life to fly first class, stay in the top suite and live a first-class life every time, Leslie Cheung told everyone: "I have calculated that it will cost 65 million Hong Kong dollars." Mandarin Hotel is located in Central Hong Kong. On April 1st, 2003, Leslie Cheung fell from the 24th floor here.
Reporter’s visit: When I got out of the subway, I went to the newly-built Mandarin Land Hotel by mistake. The waiter told me that I was looking for Leslie Cheung’s footprint and showed me the right way carefully. She said that every year around April 1, there will be many fans who come to ask for directions. Compared with the skyscrapers next to it, the hotel is slightly shorter, with 24 floors. My brother jumped down from the coffee room on this floor. This coffee room, with a beautiful view of Victoria, is my brother’s other leisure love besides Peninsula Hotel, and it is also a window seat. It is said that after the death of my brother, this position has now become Tony Leung Chiu Wai’s favorite seat. I don’t know if it is to miss my brother.
Footprint 7: Baofushan-My brother and Tam Fat Sister are "neighbors".
Many people are asking where my brother’s ashes are buried. It is understood that Tang Tang kept the ashes and kept them at home. There are no ashes and cemeteries. In order to let more fans have a place to pay homage to their brother, Chen Shufen has placed a spiritual place for his brother in Baofushan. In addition to my brother, there are also the spirits of Dong Piao, Shen Dianxia, Tam and Danny Chan.
Reporter’s visit: Baofushan is in Shatian, but I didn’t expect there is such a quiet treasure beside a huge shopping mall. It enters from the white stone gate and is surrounded by hills. The escalator winds up from the foot of the mountain. My brother’s spiritual position is in Baochan Hall, which is located in the middle of the hill. Next to the photo on the white stone tablet, there is engraved the words "When Chang Zaixin was young, the world of mortals woke up with no regrets", which was written by lin xi, and he was "in the neighborhood" with Tam and Shen Dianxia, two former friends. In this way, my brother would not feel lonely. The staff said that fans from all over the world often come here, especially on anniversaries. Sometimes flowers are piled all over the hall, and many will hug each other and cry.
Rong fan tells
"Private Time" from Hong Kong to Chengdu
A Bin, who lived in Hong Kong at the age of thirteen or fourteen, is an ordinary member of millions of fans (fans in Leslie Cheung). He said that he accidentally saw his brother’s "The True Story of Teddy Boy", and then he realized that people can still be human and people can still be human. "I am by no means an emotional person. I didn’t know that my life could be impulsive until I met him."
A Bin is lucky to have seen his brother many times in Hong Kong. In a concert, Abin sat in the 12th row and then rushed to the front. During the singing interval, he handed his brother a bottle of water, but he actually saw it and took it over and said, "Thank you, children." At that time, Abin was only sixteen years old. After the concert, he waited at his brother’s crossing. A group of people saw it through the window and recognized Abin at a glance. He got off the bus and signed autographs for him and other fans. This was the first and only time he was so close to his brother and so kind.
After graduation, Abin came to Chengdu. Every time he goes to Hong Kong or passes by Hong Kong, he will visit his brother. Although I have many good friends in Hong Kong, I will only go to see my brother Abin alone. "Because this is something that needs to be calmed down, this is my personal time with my brother."
