==Bio==<br />
The late Leslie Cheung (Cheung Kwok Wing) was born in Hong Kong in 1956 and<br />
educated in England. He entered Hong Kong show business as a singer in 1980. After<br />
joining a training course for actors at a TV station he began acting in TV dramas and<br />
films; his appearance as a mother-fixated golden boy in Patrick Tam’s NOMAD (1982)<br />
established him as a serious actor and marked the start of a decade of super-stardom in<br />
which he shuttled between hit albums, stadium-sized concerts and films. Three film roles<br />
in particular brought him to international attention: as a cop in John Woo’s A BETTER<br />
TOMORROW (1986), as a 1930s opium addict in Stanley Kwan’s ROUGE (1986) and<br />
as a 1960s playboy who seduces and abandons a string of women in Wong Kar Wai’s<br />
DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990). In the early 1990s he announced his formal retirement<br />
as a singer and moved for a while to Vancouver. But he took on ever more ambitious<br />
roles in such films as Chen Kaige’s FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE (1993), Wong Kar<br />
Wai’s ASHES OF TIME (1994), Chen Kaige’s TEMPTRESS MOON (1996) and Wong<br />
Kar Wai’s HAPPY TOGETHER (1997). <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2003, Leslie Cheung committed suicide, by jumping to his death from the 24th floor of the [[Mandrain Oriental Hotel]] in Hong Kong. He left behind a [[Suicide|suicide]] note, noting his struggle with clinical depression.<br />
<br />
Cheung was noted as one of the few Asian male stars to play openly gay characters (he was bi-sexual himself).<br />
