He died of cervical cancer on December 30, 2003, at the age of 40
Anita Mui's funeral More than 200 artists went to mourn, as well as countless fans
Anita Mui's family was poor since she was a child, her father died early, and her mother and four children depended on each other. The family survived only by their mother's run-down "Jinxia" song and dance troupe, and the family was very poor. Anita Mui was deeply influenced at a young age, and at the age of four and a half, she and her sister performed on the stage at the Liyuan Amusement Park in Hong Kong, and have since formed an indissoluble bond with the stage.
When Anita Mui was a teenager, her mother found them a stepfather. The other party not only took drugs, but also drank. Every time I got drunk, I always beat and scolded a few children. When Anita Mui recalled those days, she only used four words to describe it: purgatory on earth. Fortunately, this difficult time finally came to an end in 1982, when her sister took her to the first rookie singing competition. Although her sister was eliminated in the first round, Anita Mui won the championship with her own efforts and released her first solo album "Heart Debt", which won high attention and love from the audience, and has since stepped into the entertainment industry.
But Anita Mui after becoming famous is not happy, because she is not good at communication, and her behavior and behavior do not have a little ladylike character, so she is always criticized. She cares about the opinions of the outside world, but she has no friends around her, and she can't tell the bitterness in her heart, so she has to drink every day to relieve her worries. Later, after a detailed discussion with the company all night, the image of the neighbor girl who did not fit her image was completely overthrown, and she became herself and conquered this discriminatory world with her strength. At the age of 23, she was already at the peak of her career.
In 2000, Anita Mui's sister, who had the best relationship with Anita Mui, died of cancer, Anita Mui was immersed in grief, she was depressed, and later Anita Mui was also found to have the same cancer as her sister, and she decided to leave her last time to the stage. So in 2003, she held her last concert, wearing a white wedding dress on the stage to marry herself to her beloved stage and audience, and the designer of this wedding dress is his long-time best friend Liu Peiji, for Anita Mui, Liu Peiji is more like a relative than her mother and brother. In order not to worry fans, she put on diapers that had been bleeding, and Anita Mui sang a "Sunset Song" at the end, she said: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk. On December 30 of the same year, Anita Mui, who was only 40 years old, passed away.
Before she died, Anita Mui said: "I hope that at my funeral, everyone can be beautiful and happy to see me away, I don't want to see everyone sad and decadent!" So on the day of her funeral, the most classic scene appeared in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, all the stars who participated in her funeral that day were more amazing than one, although everyone was almost wearing black and white clothing, but the scene picture became the most special funeral in the history of the entertainment industry! Among them, Andy Lau, Liu Peiji, Tony Leung, Tao Zhe, Lian Yanhui, Su Xiaoliang, Zhang Minyi, Michelle Yeoh, these eight people helped her to help her, and Nicholas Tse held her portrait. The funeral committee ended with "Don't be a daughter of Hong Kong!" A number of TV stations such as Phoenix TV, Hong Kong TVB, Asia Satellite TV and China Entertainment Satellite TV broadcast the news.
In 2021, the biographical film "Anita Mui" starring Danni Wang was released, starring Gu Tianle, Lin Jiadong and Yang Qianwei, telling the story of Anita Mui's legendary life from the beginning of the resident singer, all the way against fate to face difficulties, insisting on singing to grow up into a generation of divas, and finally marrying the stage.

Huang Jiaju was born in Hong Kong in 1962, the family is very poor, the family of four lives in a small room of less than 30 square meters, Huang Jiaju was particularly obedient and introverted when he was a child, until once he was taken by his sister to a party, he was quickly attracted by the music playing in the room, and since then he has been crazy and obsessed with rock music. After graduating from high school, Wong got a job selling insurance for a company, a boring job that made him mentally resistant, until by chance, Wong met an acoustic guitar discarded by a neighbor downstairs, which was his first musical instrument.
After learning music, Huang Jiaju's inner world began to be opened, he liked music, also liked guitar playing, and made a group of friends, including one of the members of Beyond, Ye Shirong, in 1983, under the recommendation of Ye Shirong, Huang Jiaju met Huang Guanzhong, Huang Jiaqiang, and the four formally formed the Beyond band. Unlike now, many amateurs now will choose to participate in some talent shows to debut, and the stage is still relatively wide. But at that time, Huang Jiaju, their team has always relied on crazy work, after all, life is not only poetry and distant places, reality is firewood, rice, oil and salt after all. All the money saved is saved and used for concerts. The division of labor among the five people is also very clear, even if the five people in the concert put all their efforts, the final result was a fiasco, and only 300 people went to listen to their concert.
In 1983, Hong Kong held the "Yamaha Guitar Competition", in which Beyond won the championship with "Mansion" and "Brain Invasion", but no one expected that what came before flowers and applause was a long and tormenting nameless period, in the mainstream music market dominated by love songs, Beyond was not paid by the public, so that after winning the championship, no company was willing to sign them. At this time, the appearance of Chen Jiantian brought a turning point, he was also the later Bole of Faye Wong and the Black Panther band, this underground band finally signed a contract with the company, and 1988 Beyond's "Earth" became a hit and won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards. On the eve of Mother's Day in 1989, investors hoped that Huang Jiaju would make a work praising maternal love, Huang Jiaju, who never compromised with business, created "Really Love You", on the day of the concert, the mother in the audience who had never had the luxury of looking forward to Jackie Chan was still crying silently, Huang Jiaju's creation of a very wide dimension, involving a range of borders beyond race, when volunteering in Africa, he created "Glorious Years", to South Africa's founding father Mandela expressed the highest respect.
On June 24, 1993, the Beyond band participated in the recording of a game program on a TV station in Tokyo, Japan, because the stage was very slippery at that time, causing Huang Jiaju to slip and hit the background plate behind the stage, the bracket behind the background plate fell off because of the excessive impact force, Huang Jiaju fell to the ground and fell into a coma first. Huang Jiaju was rushed to the hospital and was confirmed to be diagnosed with acute meningeal hematoma and skull fracture, and on June 30, Huang Jiaju died in Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 31, a generation of music giants died suddenly, leaving the world with infinite emotion.

Three: Leslie Cheung
At 18:43 on April 1, 2003, Leslie Cheung fell to his death from the fitness center on the 24th floor of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong due to uncontrolled depression
Leslie Cheung's funeral More than 10,000 fans attended the funeral, which caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry
Leslie Cheung was born into a wealthy family in Hong Kong, the last of 10 siblings. Leslie Cheung's father Zhang Huohai is a well-known dress king in Hong Kong, and Hollywood superstars such as famous director Hitchcock, actor Gary Grant, Marlon Brando, William Holden and so on have visited it. However, his father and his mother had a discordant relationship, and in addition to marrying his mother Pan Yuyao, Zhang Huohai also married two concubines. Except for holidays, my father basically does not come home all year round, and usually lives with two concubines. Or stay at The Peninsula Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, with private rooms all year round, which is more convenient for celebrities and ladies to date. Leslie Cheung once told his friends that he had never lived with his father for more than five days, and that his children had been separated from their parents since he was a child. Therefore, Leslie Cheung did not have any feelings for his father. His mother was also very estranged from him and his siblings, difficult to communicate with each other, and talked politely like strangers. Looking back on my childhood, "There is nothing worth remembering, nothing worth nostalgia." Leslie Cheung concluded with these words.
At the age of 13, Leslie Cheung ushered in a major change in his life. His father seemed to be even more disgusted with him at home and sent him directly to study abroad. In those days, being able to go abroad was the dream of countless people. But for Leslie Cheung, it was a nightmare. His father was tired of him, so he drove him far away to live a dashing life with his new girl. Leslie Cheung studied alone overseas, alone, and could only listen to songs to relieve his inner pain. It took a long time before he received a call asking him to come back.
And when he returned, his father could only look at him with a pair of pitiful eyes, and Zhang Huohai was paralyzed by a stroke and could no longer stand up. His father Zhang Huohai hoped that Leslie Cheung could make the family business bigger, but Leslie Cheung was arrogant, looking for a job alone, working as a waiter, and also lived on the street. Because, in his heart, he has never had that "home", nor has he ever had his own "home", and he is even more unwilling to accept that "home", the so-called "help". And the reason why he later chose the entertainment industry was also to take a completely different path of no return from that "home" and the father he despised in his heart.
In 1977, Leslie Cheung won the runner-up of Lai's TV Asian Song Contest in Hong Kong with the song "American Pie". Thus entered the music scene and started a new life. The following year, his first Cantonese album "Lover's Arrow" was released, and Leslie Cheung's early singing image was more avant-garde, with that kind of rebellion and romance. Logically speaking, it is imperative for such a look and such a song to set off a wave, but the result has a mediocre response. To what extent does the audience not buy it? It is said that when my brother was singing excitement during an outdoor performance, he threw his hat at the audience, but someone threw his hat back on stage. Such a move almost crushes a singer's self-esteem. He was grieving, he was depressed, he was very unwilling. In the empty singing room, he roared loudly and cried bitterly. It was also from that moment that Leslie Cheung secretly decided that he wanted to be perfect, everything was perfect, he wanted to sing, he "wanted to make all the people of Hong Kong recognize him." ”
At the age of 26, Leslie Cheung finally met two of his nobles, one was his mentor Lai Xiaotian and the other was his agent Chen Shufen. A year later, Leslie Cheung became popular with "The Wind Continues to Blow", and another year, Leslie Cheung completely established his status as a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene with "Monica", when he was 28 years old. Then Leslie Cheung walked on the fast track, and 29-year-old Leslie Cheung held ten solo concerts in the Red Hall, breaking the record for the number of concerts held by Hong Kong singers for the first time. 30-year-old Leslie Cheung was selected for 7 songs in the Hong Kong "Top Ten Golden Songs" season selection that year, and he had 5 champion songs on the Radio Television Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger List that year, both of which were the top of Hong Kong singers that year.
31-year-old Leslie Cheung was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie "The True Color of Heroes 2", and starred in the movie "Qiannu Ghost" in the same year, in which he successfully created the image of Ning Caichen's amorous scholar. 32-year-old Leslie Cheung starred in the movie "Rouge Button" directed by Kwan Jinpeng, and was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the third time for his role as the 12th Shao Yi. At the end of the same year, Leslie Cheung, who was at the peak of his singing career, suddenly announced his farewell to the music scene, and held 33 consecutive "farewell music concerts" at the Hong Kong Red Hall, followed by a world tour. After 1990, Leslie Cheung shined in the film and television industry, with excellent works such as "A Fei", "East Evil and West Poison", "East Becomes West", "Farewell My Concubine", "Spring Light", "Across the Sea" and other excellent works.
Contrary to the twists and turns in his career, Leslie Cheung's love path is also quite bumpy. Leslie Cheung liked girls at first, he began to date girls when he was in elementary school, and in his youthful years, he had a lot of love with girls, but there were no results, and the biggest hit was his love with Mao Shunjun. However, Mao Shunyun is not completely in love. Under a marriage proposal offensive by Leslie Cheung, Mao Shunyun was stunned, turned his head and ran, and this love ended in a breakup. Leslie Cheung later said that if Mao Shunyun had agreed at the time, he would have married and had children long ago, and his life would have been different. Later, Leslie Cheung also talked with Sydney, Ni Shibei, and Yang North, but they all ended in vain, and Leslie Cheung, who was frustrated in love, had to talk to his friend Tang Hede.
Tang Hede also had his own girlfriend at the beginning, and he and Leslie Cheung felt that they could not reach a high degree of tacit understanding with their girlfriend, but the two of them had been relying on each other for many years, and their emotions became deeper and deeper, which has surpassed friendship. Tang Hede handed over all his savings during Leslie Cheung's career trough and encouraged him to persevere. Leslie Cheung, who longs for love, found that in this world, only Tang Hede can give him selfless love without asking for anything in return. So, two people who love each other come together. In 1997, Leslie Cheung confessed to Tang Hede with a song "The Moon Represents My Heart" at a concert.
Leslie Cheung has loved acting all his life, and he is also very friendly to newcomers in the entertainment industry, and many artists in Hong Kong have received his help, Lin Qingxia said that there are not many people like Leslie Cheung in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Respecting his predecessors and taking care of his juniors makes it hard for us to believe that we will suffer from depression. On April 1, 2003, an explosive news item appeared in all Hong Kong newspapers: "Leslie Cheung, an artist, fell to his death on the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central Plaza in the evening at the age of 46. "The legendary superstar Leslie Cheung died mysteriously, and this sudden bad news shocked the world. While everyone was still speculating whether this was an April Fool's joke, the Hong Kong police announced Leslie Cheung's death. At least a hundred bigwigs attended Leslie Cheung's funeral, everyone looked sad and regretted the departure of his brother, Anita Mui couldn't afford to kneel, and tens of thousands of fans spontaneously poured outside the funeral home, just to send his brother the last ride.

Fearing outside remarks and another damage to his reputation, Tang Jishan initially chose to go to Fumin Hospital, far from home, which promised to keep the patient's condition secret. But Tang Jishan made a mistake, and when he went to Fumin Hospital, there was no doctor on duty. Tang Jishan had to drive to a friend's clinic again. Seeing that Ruan Lingyu's condition was very serious, his friend did not dare to accept the treatment, and kept persuading Tang Jishan to be sent to a large hospital. Tang Jishan had no choice but to send Ruan Lingyu to the Zhongxi Sanatorium Hospital. But when she arrived at the hospital, because of the delay in the best time for treatment, Ruan Lingyu was already unable to return to heaven. At 18:38 on March 8, 1935, 25-year-old Ruan Lingyu closed her eyes forever.
March 14, 1935 was the day of Ruan Lingyu's funeral. Her coffin was carried out of Shanghai Wanguo Funeral Home and was about to be sent to Lianyi Mountain Villa for burial, which was a grand funeral and a "sad thing" that caused a sensation in the entire Shanghai Beach. Jin Yan, Sun Yu, Fei Mu, Zheng Junli, Wu Yonggang, Cai Chusheng, Li Minwei and other 12 bigwigs in the film industry appeared at the funeral scene and even took up the work of carrying the coffin. In addition to seniors and colleagues in the entertainment industry, there are countless fans who rushed to the funeral, but wherever the hearse passes, it is full of sad whimpering. The send-off procession along the way, amounting to 300,000 people, snaked into a "long dragon in human shape". At that time, the US reporter in Shanghai also joined the huge funeral and took many precious historical portraits. The New York Times in the United States specifically reported on this matter, and the illustration was Ruan Lingyu's funeral scene. Among them, it is a strong man with a white cloth on his head and a dragon robe, which refers to the "emperor", and the Western media evaluated this funeral as "the world's greatest mourning".
