Leslie Cheung is one of the most important artists of our times. His works have transcended Hong Kong into the international stage. However, his depression has made him kill himself in the year of 2003. The day also coincided with April's fool day. Therefore, at that day everyone thought the news was a joke.
After 21 years, people still gather outside Mandarin Oriental hotel (The place where Leslie jumped off the building). They would bring flowers to commemorative this historical figure.
