Hey Leslie,
How could you leave us at a time when we are having a killer virus, when people are being evacuated, and there was panic all over the city and a run on food in the supermarkets?
You shouldn't leave us now. You were a staple of our lives and have been so long. I can't remember a time when you didn't exist in my conciousness, my adoration, and always gave me joy. As a little girl, I religiously watched your TV shows, learnt all the words to your songs. You were the bad boy who broke all our hearts, and mine especially. And as an adult you blew my "I hate Cantopop self" away because you really did break all the rules. You really did always break things...
I thought you would always be with us, and grow old and be with Hong Kong. You are one of those people who symbolizes home for me. I feel really sad. Of all the wierd and bad news today, this is the most traumatizing. It must be, I am sitting on the Internet writing a message for you!
I just feel a sense of lost that is hard to describe. I mean what will the clubs be like without "leslie" spottings? What will life be like without your camp videos? Who else is going to wear feathers and skirts with such flair and style?
I don't know why you decided to go. I think we need your pressence and your joy more than anything right now.
At least you killed yourself at the Mandarin Orient. It seems fitting considering you always loved the good things in life.
Love Yan
(This is what I wrote the minute I found out he had gone...)
