Chapter 50 Forever Legend: Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui

Put them together, because they are both my good friends, and they left in the same year. Leslie Cheung and I were on good terms very early on.At that time, Chen Baiqiang was still alive, and they both liked to joke with me.I had long hair back then, and every time Leslie Cheung saw me, he would lean over, brush my hair gently with his hands, put his mouth next to my ear and speak softly, blowing while talking, deliberately teasing me.I was made stiff by him and got goosebumps, but I couldn't get angry.I saw a photo of the two of us in the early years on the Internet. He was pinching my face. In fact, it was just one of many small clips. He loved to tease me.

It turns out that as long as we are in Hong Kong, Leslie Cheung and I often eat, meet and party, and like to play with them.Later, when Luo Wen fell ill, he went to the hospital to see him. He was already in the terminal stage at that time, and he was very sad to see him.I told him, hurry up and wait for you to drink.Whenever he saw me in the past, he would drink a large glass of whiskey, and I drank it with him.After chatting for a while, I said, I will come to see you another day, and I will go back to filming.When I returned to Hong Kong after filming, he had already left.At that time, I thought, alas, friends, let’s get together more when we have time.

One day I invited several friends such as Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung and Karen Mok to dinner.Everyone sat around a long platform, Maggie Cheung was on my right, Anita Mui was opposite, Karen Mok was diagonally opposite, and there were two friends next to her, Leslie Cheung was sitting on the side.Everyone knows that long tables are not convenient for talking, you can only talk to the people next to you and the people opposite, so I think the greatest invention of the Chinese is the round table for eating, where everyone can see and everyone can talk. At that time, the long platform was very inconvenient.When I went to the toilet in the middle, I saw that Leslie Cheung was gone.At that time, they were invited to have dinner in an underground wine cellar. My friend told me that he felt uncomfortable and depressed sitting there. He felt that he was sitting underground, so he left first.I thought it was a bit strange, but I didn't think too much about it. I'm not superstitious about this kind of thing. I thought he was just in a bad mood.After that time, I went back to Germany to film, and when I arrived in Germany, I heard that he jumped off a building.I felt very painful, why didn't I see that he had emotional problems at that time?Such a good person, he just left...

Not long after that, Anita Mui fell ill.When I returned to Hong Kong, I rushed to her house to see her as soon as I got off the plane.The family members came to open the door and said she was in the room. I pushed open the door of her room, and when I saw her, I couldn't help it immediately, and tears fell down my face.Because of the treatment, she lost all her hair and became very thin. I was very sad, when they left, both of them were fine, but when they came back, one was gone, and the other was so sick again... When she held the last few concerts, she invited all her friends to the scene and bid farewell to everyone in that way.The way she wore her wedding dress at the concert broke many hearts.At that time, I was still filming in Germany, so I couldn't participate.In the last few days, I stayed with her in the hospital until I sent her away...

Both of them are now legends in the Hong Kong film industry.I was lucky to have friends like them.
