skylee Posted April 1, 2006 at 01:03 PM Report Posted April 1, 2006 at 01:03 PM This being April 1, the TV is showing a 1997 concert of Leslie Cheung and I find it hard to move my eyes from the screen. Such a beautiful man (and yet if he were alive he would be 50 this year), such a talented singer / actor. Here is a song from his album "Salute", which is the only album of his that I own. The song was originally sung by Sandy Lam 林憶蓮 but I much prefer Cheung's version. 滴汗 在滴汗是我思想 若你今夜亦也一樣 請勿獨臥汗水上 Are you ready for love 但願別要我空想 讓我生命劇烈地閃亮 帶我翻騰無涯熊火上 Are you ready for love Are you ready for love 知否一生只等這夜 知否此心太多空曠曠野 若肯交出那些情之火 現在說吧 彼此的所等與所想 雖難形容和抽象 可能完全同一樣 Are you ready for love 別待夜半變清早 願你將靈魂完全祼露 掃去保留和回頭之路 Are you ready for love Are you ready for love 知否一生只等這夜 知否此心太多空曠曠野 若肯交出那些情之火 現在說吧 戀火燒我的中央 你今夜若亦是一樣 請用事實代想像 Are you ready for love Listen Quote

need1head Posted April 2, 2006 at 07:27 AM Report Posted April 2, 2006 at 07:27 AM 我是在 这春暖花开的时候 放弃了生命 让这疲惫的躯体卸下所有的艳丽 在这灵魂交错的午后 阳光是一个屠夫 刺瞎我的想象 烟灰散尽 空无一物 在这风扑不进的酒店窗口 往下看 人群熙熙攘攘 每个人过着自己的生活 我在虚空中轻轻抽搐 绝望 来得如此容易 在凝滞的层层空气中 我的身体划出一道抛物线 穿过 尘埃、沙砾、音符 在这飞翔中 用生命的终结 收获灵魂 阳光的讥笑 人群的嘈杂 在耳旁呼啸而过 到了 快到了 我最喜欢的落点 七米外的街心 在头骨与金属撞击的瞬间 展开双臂 优雅地 迎接浩瀚 来吧 上帝 来摸摸我身上的血 告诉他们 这不是一个玩笑 这些血 融化在路人鞋底的灰尘中 融化在一个搬运工滴落的汗水里 融化在嬉戏的小孩无意泼洒的可乐里 这些血 在阳光下蒸发 用并不迷人的气味 击碎人们关于完美的谎言 抱歉 我没有蓄满足够的血 为你们准备一场祭奠 别为我唱挽歌 那只是庸人自扰 因为 生命从开始的时候 就已经结束 Quote
elina Posted April 2, 2006 at 01:09 PM Report Posted April 2, 2006 at 01:09 PM Because I cannot understand Cantonese, I seldom listen to his songs. It’s the first time I hear this song mentioned by skylee, it’s beautiful. And remembering his death on April 1, it’s a touching song! Quote
rose~ Posted April 3, 2006 at 11:57 AM Report Posted April 3, 2006 at 11:57 AM The poor guy! This might sounds strange but I never connected "Leslie Cheung" and 张国荣 Zhang1 Guo2 Rong2! For years I knew the actor, Leslie Cheung, and that there was a singer, 张国荣 (whose face I never saw, obviously). Only recently did I realise it was the same man. Quote

bhchao Posted April 6, 2006 at 02:32 AM Report Posted April 6, 2006 at 02:32 AM Korean actor Lee Joon-ki had some kind words for Leslie Cheung. http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/culture/200604/kt2006040517241011710.htm ...Chinese media have compared Lee to Leslie Cheung of ``Temptress Moon.''``I should by no means be compared to such a great actor. I loved the movie `Temptress Moon' and I respect the actor so much. Cheung's role is something that I really want to do in the future,'' said Lee... Quote
skylee Posted March 30, 2008 at 03:54 PM Author Report Posted March 30, 2008 at 03:54 PM It's the anniversary of his death again. And the TV is showing two of his movies tonight. I've just finished watching Days of Being Wild (never can help wondering about Tony Leung's last scene). Coming up is Happy Together (it has to be a midnight show). Both were directed by WONG Kar-wai. Quote
heifeng Posted March 31, 2008 at 04:59 AM Report Posted March 31, 2008 at 04:59 AM Great thread Skylee! Such a beautiful man (and yet if he were alive he would be 50 this year), such a talented singer / actor. Indeed! Ohh, I absolutely love the range of films he worked on.... Quote
skylee Posted April 1, 2008 at 04:57 PM Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 at 04:57 PM (edited) Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. He jumped to his death. She was killed by cancer. 天 姿 國 色 不 可 一 世 天 生 高 貴 艷 麗 到 底 顛 倒 眾 生 吹 灰 不 費 Their MV -> 芳華絕代 Their MV -> 緣份 Their film -> 胭脂扣(客途秋恨) So nostalgic ...

studentyoung Posted March 31, 2009 at 06:42 AM Report Posted March 31, 2009 at 06:42 AM I translated the song below, for tomorrow will be April 1st again. Just dedicate it to Leslie Cheung. http://you.video.sina.com.cn/b/8416054-1219091134.html 当爱以成往事 When love has become bygones….. (This song is the theme song of the film “Farewell My Concubine”) Singer: Leslie Cheung 往事不要再提 Bygones shouldn’t be mentioned any more 人生已多风雨 Life is full of rains and winds 纵然记忆抹不去 What can’t be wiped off is memory 爱与恨都还在心里 What’s kept in heart is love and hate. 真的要断了过去 Let bygones be bygones 让明天好好继续 Let tomorrow be another day 你就不要再苦苦追问我的消息 No need to search for my messages 爱情它是个难题 Love is a sphinx 让人目眩神迷 so dazzling so dizzy 忘了痛或许可以 To forget pain might be possible 忘了你却太不容易 To forget you is not a breeze 你不曾真的离去 You never really leave 你始终在我心里 In my heart you still live 我对你仍有爱意 My love is still for you 我对自己无能为力 more else is beyond my ability 因为我仍有梦 For I still have a dream 依然将你放在我心中 still keep you in mind 总是容易被往事打动 Bygones always easily touch me 总是为了你心痛 Heartaches are always for you 别留恋岁月中我无意的柔情万种 Don’t sink into my unintentional affectionateness in those good old days 不要问我是否再相逢 Don’t ask if we can meet 不要管我是否言不由衷 Don’t care whether it’s my mind I speak 为何你不懂 Why can’t you see 只要有爱就有痛 Where is love, where is pain 有一天你会知道 One day you will get it 人生没有我并不会不同 Life, without me , will be no differences 人生已经太匆匆 Life is but a span 我好害怕总是泪眼朦胧 I’m afraid of always blurring with tears 忘了我就没有痛 Forget me to relieve 将往事留在风中 Let bygones be gone with the wind Cheers!

heifeng Posted April 1, 2013 at 07:19 PM Report Posted April 1, 2013 at 07:19 PM 香港举办张国荣十周年悼念活动 ４月１日是香港著名艺人张国荣逝世十周年纪念日。从上月开始，香港就举行了音乐会、纪念展览、电影放映等众多活动，悼念这位巨星。 为纪念张国荣离世十周年，他生前的好友兼经纪人陈淑芬组织了两场《继续宠爱》音乐会。其中，第一场就是３月３１日晚上在红磡体育馆举办的《继续宠爱》大型纪念演唱会。演唱会上，有近２０位张国荣生前的艺人好友，包括张学友、梁朝伟、容祖儿、古巨基、张智霖、周慧敏、草蜢等都上台献唱，演绎张国荣的成名金曲，与歌迷一同怀缅这位巨星的风采及生前点滴。 演唱会引起人们广泛关注的另一个主要原因就是，演唱会的组织者、张国荣生前的经纪人陈淑芬，之前曾透露，在演唱会中将播出张国荣留给歌迷的重要信息。在昨晚的演唱会上，陈淑芬如约揭晓了埋藏十年的秘密，也就是张国荣辞世前向她说的最后一句说话。据她讲，张国荣当时说的是：终于可以舒服地睡一觉了。 除了昨晚的明星演唱会，今天晚上将举行第二场《继续宠爱》音乐会，但这一场会以大型歌迷聚会的形式进行。 张国荣在２００３月４月１日晚，从香港东方文华酒店的２４楼一跃而下，结束了自己的生命，终年４６岁。不过，在过去的十年中，人们似乎从没有忘记他的名字。在很多人眼里，对艺术追求极致的张国荣，在如今的演艺圈，很难有人能与之匹敌。同时，很多人对张国荣的死无法释怀，他自杀的原因仍是人们探讨的热门话题，人们通过怀念张国荣而反思自身。每一年的４月１日，东方文华酒店都会有歌迷和影迷来献花，悼念这位偶像。由于今年是张国荣的十周年忌，对他的追思和纪念活动也格外的多。 最近一个月以来，香港的很多电视节目都以张国荣为主题，采访他生前的友人，分享关于张国荣的各种回忆。一些珍贵的照片，也第一次与公众见面。最近很多电视频道，每天都在播出张国荣的电影作品，让影迷们在影像中追思哥哥的音容笑貌。 从３月３０日起，香港时代广场还举办了“继续宠爱‧十年‧纪念展”。纪念展分别以张国荣的音乐、舞台、电影为题，还收藏展出各地歌迷为张国荣折叠的将近２００万只纸鹤。据说，这些纸鹤因为数目众多，被列入了吉尼斯世界纪录。这个纪念展将持续到５月１日 Quote
