In the memory of Leslie Cheung
An incredible Hongkonger
Cheung Kwok-wing (1956 - 2003) was a Hong Kong singer and actor. Throught a 26-year career from 1977 until his death, Cheung released over 40 music albums and acted in 56 films. He was one of the most prominent pioneers that shaped the identity of Cantopop during the 1980s and became known for his flamboyant, often outrageous stage appearance. His venture into acting in the 1990s was recognised for his portrayal of queer characters in a then-conservative film industry. His career was marked with both praise and criticism, with numerous public discussions focusing on his sexual orientation and androgynous persona. In 2020, South China Morning Post, in one article to pay tribute to Leslie Cheung, had acclaimed him as "an incredible Hongkonger". He had lived an incredible life - a Cantopop icon, an award-winning actor recognised around the world and an LGBTQ+ pioneer.
