www.Dearest Leslie.com
Born in Hong Kong in 1956, Leslie Cheung was educated in England. he returned to Hong Kong in the mid - 1970s and launched the career as singer and actor which has made him one of the most popular and widely known of all Chinese stars.
He has won numerous awards for both his albums and his screen performances. His many films include A Better Tomorrow and A Better Tomorrow ll
( John Woo, 1986 / 1988 ), A Chinese Ghost Story and A Chinese Ghost Story ll ( Tsui Hark and Ching Siu - Tung ,1987 / 1988 ), Rouge( Stanley Kwan, 1988 ), He's a Woman, She's a Man and Who's the Woman, Who's the Man? ( Peter Chan,1994 / 1996 ), Fqrewell My Concubine and Temptress Moon ( Chen Kaige, 1993 / 1996 ) and Viva Erotical! ( Derek yee and Lo Chi - Leung, 1996 ). He has previously worked with Wong Kar - Wai in Days of Being Wild (1990 ) and Ashes of Time ( 1994 )


As an actor, he is terrifically versatile, at ease in art films ( as Farewell my Concubine's conflicted gay opera star ), acton thrillers ( as the sensitive young cop in A Better Tomorrow ), fantasies ( as Brigitte Lin's mountaintop lover in The Bride with white Hair ), dark romances ( as the haunted singer in The Phantom Lover ) and fluffy comedies ( as the music mogul in He's a Woman, She's a Man ), Last year he played a psycho killer in Double Tap.
Inside these varied characters is the irreducible, enigmatic " Leslie " ; a beautiful man whose sexuality is a gift or a plague tko those who fall under his spell. Typically, they love him and he leaves them ; he must have said, " I don't love , you" more times than anyone else in movies. But he doesn't just mesmerize the camera ; he works subtle wonders before it. he glamorizes a scene in Days of Being Wild just by appraising himself in a full-length mirror while doing an expert cha-cha. And then, in unforgiving close-up without moving a muscle, he will somehow change emotional temperature. You can see feeling rise in him like a blush or a bruise.
