On Monday, the day before you left us, we usually come to your house to play mahjong. Lately, you have been very "lucky" -winning over tens of thousands!. But for those who know you we also remember you for your good gambling manners. Mahjong playmates such as Shiong San See Noi, So See Wong and I enjoyed the times we spent playing mahjong with you!

Do you still remember that time? You "Dan Diu Yat Tong" (waiting for a particular winning tile), I "Chut Chong" (hit out the tile that Leslie needed to win) to you, but you cannot find your own matching tile for the win. The reason was that I actually draw your own tile and played it out! At that time, everyone was laughing non-stop.

There are simply too many hilarious incidents that occurred during our mahjong games to recall them all. Do you remember? We love to tease you. You famous for being good-looking and charming, but we do not let you forget that you true colors show when you play with us.  Our antics always caused you to not know whether to laugh or cry. What a pity now that everything has become past memories. All we can do is to meet again in our next life!

You love to share your work stories and you were always more than encouraging. What I am most happy about was that I got to sing the hit song "afraid that we don't get to meet" with you. Happy days always seem to fly by. We have already known each other for 20 over years…. I keep telling myself over these two days.. just like I said to myself when Roman Left, you have only gone to ice isle, and this time you did not bring along a telephone or a fax machine…

Don't worry! We all know whom you are most worried for. Although there are a lot of speculations outside, we are all very clear that there are no problems between Tong Tong and you. There is definitely no so-called "third party". We will protect him, accompany him to through the days of losing you, and get over this difficulty hurdle.
Elisa Chan and Leslie Cheung
I  am now in the garden of your home. Together your best friends…  Keeping the love of your life -Tong Tong, company. I totally cannot feel that you have left us.
I gaze at the place in the hall where you usually sit, look over at the part of the door where you loved to lean against. It is as if I see your silhouette.
