It's Leslie Cheung's favorite festival of the year again, Christmas.
As usual, on the day of the festival, Tang Hede posted a photo of the two spending Christmas together with Leslie Cheung, celebrating the festival with photos, as if Leslie was still around.
The word "we" in this blog, many netizens burst into tears after seeing it, 20 years have passed, and Tang Hede is still trapped in this relationship.
This year happens to be the 20th anniversary of the death of his brother Leslie Cheung, and the two of them have been together for exactly 20 years.
On Tang Hede's social account, the photo of the two of them at Christmas was released, and it has been insisted on for many years. For many years, Tang Sheng has been using this way to commemorate his brother Leslie Cheung.
In the past 20 years since his brother Leslie Cheung left, Tang Hede has basically sent a photo with Leslie Cheung on important holidays, as if his lover has never been far away, as if his memory is still yesterday.
Tang Hede was born in a wealthy merchant family in Shanghai, with a rich family fortune and many assets in his name, so many years, he could have left Hong Kong, left everything full of criticism and pressure, and went to the United States with his family to start a new life of his own.
However, he didn't.
For so many years, he has lived in a small apartment with his brother Leslie Cheung, which has the objects used by his brother Leslie Cheung and the breath of his brother's life.
It seems that in this way, he can really feel the existence of his brother, feel that his blood is still flowing, and feel that he is still alive.
His brother left, leaving Tang Hede alone in the 20 years he had been with his brother, trapped in that memory and unable to get out, and then carried this memory alone for the rest of his life.

The elder brother Leslie Cheung was born in Hong Kong, his father was a tailor and owner of a foreign firm, and many Hollywood stars were customers of this store, and his brother lived in a relatively stable family environment since he was a child.
Tang was born in Shanghai and moved to Hong Kong with his family.
Tang Hede and Leslie Cheung have known each other since childhood, and the two were familiar with each other when they were children, but because the two of them were not in the same direction of development on the road of growth, they gradually broke off contact.
When Tang Hede was in school, he had excellent academic Xi results, and played basketball very well, and also served as the class president and the Chinese editor-in-chief of the school magazine "Tanli", and was once a prominent figure in the school.
Because of his tall and handsome appearance, gentlemanly and polite character, he was favored by many women during his time in school.
Mr. Ye Yushu, the Chinese teacher and the director of discipline when Tang Hede was in school, still couldn't help but praise him when he talked about his love for his apprentices many years later: "He is really worthy of love, and he is the class leader, tall, handsome, well-behaved, and willing to suffer, and he is teased by us......
After graduating from university, Tang Hede worked in the banking industry, and as a senior executive of Citibank, he was highly favored because of his high professional quality, and his future was very bright.
Tang Hede once won the praise of "the purest product", and Wei Shaoen, the screenwriter of "Lan Yu", commented on his use of one word: "hard and clean". It shows that character is precious.
After work, Tang Hede also fell in love with a female partner several times, but each time it ended without a problem.

In his freshman year, Leslie Cheung had to return to China because his father suddenly suffered a stroke, and his studies were interrupted, and he slowly embarked on the road of a singer.
At the beginning of his career in the entertainment industry, Leslie Cheung had several girlfriends, but because these girls basically came for his money, several of his relationships ended in failure.
In the last century, in the talk show "No Defense Tonight" organized by three of Hong Kong's four talents, Leslie Cheung also generously admitted that girls in the entertainment industry are a little fond of vanity, so they don't want to find the other half of the entertainment industry.
1983 was a year of turning points for Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede. This year, his brother Leslie Cheung was 26 years old and Mr. Tang was 24 years old.
This year, at Mrs. Zhang Yulin's birthday banquet, Tang Hede and Leslie Cheung both attended.
In the midst of the staggering, Leslie Cheung saw a boy sitting in the corner, with smooth side face lines, which was what he liked. Leslie Cheung joked with a friend: "The side is so beautiful, I wonder if the other side is equally charming?"
When Leslie Cheung saw the other side, he was immediately attracted to it: delicate temperament, good face, full of male charm, Leslie Cheung was stunned.
Later, Leslie Cheung invited a friend to introduce him, and the two knew each other officially.
"At Leslie's request, our friend Kenneth hosted a dinner at his home on Old Bo Road to formally introduce Mr. Tang to Leslie. ”
As the contact deepened, both of them felt this unusual heart, and slowly, the two came together.

Leslie Cheung in 1983 was not the shining king in the film and music world, and his acting career was not smooth.
At the beginning of his acquaintance with Tang Hede, Leslie Cheung was suffering from the pit of his agent Tan Guoji, his money was cheated away, his career fell to a low point, and his income was pitiful, and he was very unpopular with insiders.
In order to help Leslie Cheung tide over the difficulties, Tang Hede took out all his salary for Leslie Cheung's use, and claimed that if it was not enough, he would find a way to turn it over.
This friendship of sharing adversity and suffering touched Leslie Cheung very much.
Tang Hede later said in an interview: "In my understanding, the love between men and women is a momentary spark, which can easily disappear and it is difficult to preserve the initial feeling. I don't think that's the case between men and men. The relationship between men is more tolerant and warm, and there is a sense of solid support. ”
Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede's personalities just complement each other: Leslie Cheung is indulgent, sings loudly when he is happy, and smashes cups and dishes when he is angry; Tang Hede has a very stable and calm personality, you rarely see why he is so angry, in the face of Leslie Cheung's anger, he will smile and send a cup of tea, and after being broken, he will turn around and pour another cup.
Perhaps with Tang Hede's calm support, Leslie Cheung's career in the entertainment industry is getting smoother and smoother.

After Leslie Cheung became famous, it was Tang Hede who was besieged by the media and the pressure of doxxing.
In the 80s and 90s of the last century, Hong Kong was far less tolerant of homosexuality than it is now, and the attitude towards homosexuality at that time was the same as hooliganism, and it was convicted of crimes of a socially harmful nature.
So the pressure on the relationship between the two can be imagined.
However, after the media captured the photo of Tang Hede and Leslie Cheung holding hands, the media surrounded the door of the bank where Tang Hede worked every day, and reported it on a large scale when they took the photos, which caused Tang Hede's reputation in the bank to be greatly affected and caused a very bad impact within the company.
In desperation, Tang Hede resigned from his job at Citibank and concentrated on retreating behind the scenes to help Leslie Cheung manage his property business.
For Tang Hede's helpless choice, Leslie Cheung is very distressed, because in the eyes of many people, Tang Hede is young and promising, if the original road continues, he may still become the first and second in command of the bank.
So at the concert in 1997, Leslie Cheung confessed Tang Hede in public and gave him a name.
In order to help Leslie Cheung get out of the disease, Tang Hede and his family visited Leslie Cheung's friends, hoping that they could accompany Leslie Cheung as much as possible in their leisure time, and use laughter to help him drive away the haze.
Despite Tang Hede's efforts, he still did not prevent the deterioration of Leslie Cheung's condition, and finally in 2003, his life was forever frozen.
After Leslie Cheung's death, Tang Hede cried bitterly at the funeral, needed someone to support him to barely stand, and finally fainted due to excessive grief.
Many years have passed, and Tang Hede is still stuck in the life of 20 years ago, unable to escape.
Jin Yong once said: The most precious thing in the world is the true love of two hearts, and it is by no means a priceless treasure.
Jin Yong's pen also depicts thousands of loves in the world: I can't ask for it, love is parting.
In "Dragon Babu", Qiao Feng once said: "Azhu is Azhu, the countries of the four seas, thousands of generations, there is only one Azhu." ”
originally thought that these were all plots that existed in the novel, but now that I look at Tang Hede and Leslie Cheung, I don't want to be here.
Leslie Cheung left, leaving Tang Hede alone and trapped for the rest of his life.
