| Mourning over Leslie cheung's Death from a Fan of His Songs in Thailand By Am Siriwattana As I write this, my emotions are wild -part fear, part bitterness, part disappointment mixed in with inconsolable sadness over the death of Leslie. And like many of you, the feelings can be attributed to his death. The last time Leslie came to perform concert in Thailand was in August 1983. Outside my impression of seeing his performance, I had a closer encounter. I found out through an employee of the hotel that Leslie was staying in room 633. So my four friends and I went to the room. I knocked on the door and Leslie opened it with grace. He took photos with us, and autographed a photo, which I still carry with me. We were very excited and happy, and when he traveled back to Hong Kong, my friends and I saw him off at the Don Mueang airport. That was the last time I met Leslie and the friends I made from his concert 20 years ago, still remain close. |
The following year, a friend who worked in the hotel sent me a message that she met Leslie at a Japanese restaurant, and he was staying at a hotel near where she lived. When I called to inquire any information regarding him, it appeared that Leslie just checked out. At that time I knew his address at Taikoo Shing. I sent a telegram wishing him a Merry Christmas to which I am sure did he received it because the telegram has not been sent back. However by his birthday in the following year, I sent another telegram but it was sent back, he must have moved. Later I bought his VCD in China Town in Thailand. I was startled because in some of the pictures, Leslie looked sad. I told my friends that year I would go and watch his concert in Hong Kong. |
| In April 9th 1999, which was my birthday I traveled to Hong Kong. When I got there, I went to take photos in front of a mansion near Causeway Bay where Leslie stayed. It was a beautiful and comfortable place to live. This year, my birthday was the day Leslie was cremated. His body is only ash. When I woke up that morning, I just felt so disappointed. In 1985, my elder sister, who was a public prosecutor committed suicide. The day before, she went up to the ceiling board under the roof to look at a hole on the roof. She slipped and trod on the ceiling which cracked, and in the next afternoon she committed suicide. |
| The last Saturday of March this year it rained a lot. I saw wet trace seeping from the ceiling of the office room. I went to look at the ceiling board. I was careless and trod on the ceiling board and penetrated it. I almost fell down but I caught the wooden frame above. I was very frightened. I climbed down the ladder. I thought about how the last time the ceiling board cracked was when my elder sister committed suicide. I wondered if anything might happen this time. I knew I should not think like that. Later I found out the news that Leslie had jumped from the building and committed suicide. The moment I found out, I cried. I cried and said that I could not help my gor gor, and I loved Leslie like an elder brother. I found out later, that in November of last year, he took sleeping pills but did not die. If I had known the first time, I would have helped him because I have some psychiatric knowledge. Leslie was sick and he needed to take drugs to reduce his suspects, stress and sorrow. I understand as I have experience. Anyone who don't have that kind of knowledge and understand could not have helped him. A person who takes enough drugs will not commit suicide. Drugs help a lot. It is not an easy thing for anyone to jump from the 24th floor of the building. I feel frightened every time I think about this. Leslie's case serves as a warning. When we meet someone having problems, we can help him correctly and in time. Do not let such event happen again. What's helped me most is I am a Christian, Christian life is warm, we as a member of a family love each other and take care of each other. Everybody has strong mind. Everybody calls to each other. If anyone has problems, he will be helped. Life has both happiness and sorrow, but they are limited. Every problem can be solved. If human cannot solve problems, God and Bible can help us. I can confront everything as God will always supports me. |
