Leslie Cheung's sudden death on April 1, 2003, was a heavy blow to Tang Hede. Tang Hede was so grieved that he couldn't stand, but despite this, he endured his grief and took care of Leslie Cheung's funeral himself.
In Leslie Cheung's memorial announcement, Tang Hede was given priority to be mentioned as a "beloved person", highlighting their close relationship.
For many, it has been 20 years since Leslie Cheung's death. He was irreplaceable in their hearts, especially for Tang Hede, this heavy blow was extremely heavy.
Leslie Cheung's agent and friend Chan Shuk-fan decided to hold the "Continue to Love: Leslie Cheung Memorial Exhibition" at the Sha Tin Museum in Hong Kong to express her nostalgia for the superstar.
In the process of preparing for the exhibition, Chen Shufen communicated with Tang Hede many times, hoping that he could contribute some precious Leslie Cheung private collection to enrich the content of the exhibition.
Tang Hede was a little hesitant at first, because those private collections were extremely precious to him, memories that he had carefully treasured for many years. But in order to let more people know and cherish the memory of Leslie Cheung, he decided to publicly exhibit some of his private collections, including Leslie Cheung's beloved MagicMock and performance costumes.
On April 1, after careful preparation by Chen Shufen, the exhibition finally opened its doors to the public. The live screen continued to show Leslie Cheung's wonderful performances and film clips, and the private treasures provided by Tang Hede were also unveiled for the first time.
Many fans came to visit and pay tribute to their brother, and they were extremely relieved that this was the first time they had the opportunity to see the treasures collected by Tang Hede and to have a deeper understanding of his brother's preferences during his lifetime. We deeply admire Tang Hede's selfless dedication, and we are all touched by these qualities that he has hidden.
Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede have known each other since childhood, however, they lost contact with each other after 20 years. It wasn't until a banquet in 1983 that they reunited. At that time, Leslie Cheung's music career was in its early stages, financial constraints and worries about his career development.
After Tang Hede learned of this situation, he did not hesitate to use all his financial resources to support Leslie Cheung. In addition to this, he also actively resigned from his high-paying bank position and devoted himself to assisting Leslie Cheung with his finances.
Under the careful management of Chen Shufen's agent and the assistance of Tang Hede, Leslie Cheung's music career gradually embarked on the road of vigorous development.
Many of his albums have won Golden Melody Awards, among which "Monica" won the Golden Melody of the Year Award that year, which laid a solid foundation for him in the Hong Kong music scene. Over the years, Leslie Cheung has always been accompanied by Tang Hede, who has silently taken care of all aspects of Leslie Cheung. Even in the face of many difficulties, Tang Hede has never complained. With the passage of time, Leslie Cheung's feelings for Tang Hede have become deeper and deeper.
Especially after Leslie Cheung became famous, the crowd around him became more and more complicated, and Tang Hede's sincere personality made him feel closer.
In 1987, Leslie Cheung exposed his love for Tang Hede in a magazine interview, and frequently talked to the media in public about their intimate relationship.
The name Donald Duck actually refers to Tang Hede. Leslie Cheung even showed his deep affection for Tang Hede in front of the camera, calling him frequently: "I call my partner at least once a day to ask about his situation, which makes me feel very happy." ”
It wasn't until a concert in 1997 that Leslie Cheung mustered up the courage to publicly express his love to Tang Hede. He sang a song "The Moon Represents My Heart" emotionally at the scene, and said that this song is dedicated to "the most loved friend in my life, my Mr. Tang".
Leslie Cheung's intimate relationship with Tang Hede has since been revealed, and there is no longer a need to hide. Their friendship has become a secret to everyone.
However, the peak of Leslie Cheung's brilliant career was fleeting, and his sudden death on April 1, 2003 was a heavy blow to everyone.
The depth of his grief for his beloved Tang Hede was unbearable, and at one point he was even unable to stand, which was especially heartbreaking. After Tang Hede learned the unfortunate news, he immediately returned to Hong Kong from overseas and volunteered to bear the aftermath of Leslie Cheung. He sorted out his relics and prepared for the future, and he did not close his eyes for days and nights.
Even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, Tang Hede never showed signs of relaxing or complaining, and his tenacity made everyone feel distressed.
In Leslie Cheung's eulogy, Tang Hede was put first as "deep love", undoubtedly revealing the intimate bond between them.
On the day of the funeral, many celebrities in the entertainment industry gathered for memorial activities, including many of the new generation of colleagues sponsored by Leslie Cheung before his death. They all understand Tang Hede's unique position by Leslie Cheung's side, which is irreplaceable.
After Leslie Cheung's funeral, Tang Hede chose to live in seclusion overseas and began a quiet and peaceful life. He no longer relegated himself to the limelight, but chose a low-key and unpretentious lifestyle.
Every time Leslie Cheung's death day or birthday, Tang Hede will always publish some photos or texts of the two of them, in this way to convey his deep thoughts and feelings for Leslie Cheung.
Tang Hede has always been steadfast in his lover's waiting, and this commitment has been extended for 20 years and has never changed. After Leslie Cheung's death, he was deeply grieved. After taking care of the relevant matters, he left Hong Kong and headed abroad to start a new life in a low-key manner. Over the years, Tang Hede rarely appeared in public, living an ordinary life, sometimes alone, sometimes gathering with local friends. His occasional stroll through the park or to the supermarket to buy ingredients has become a part of his daily life.
However, far away from home, Tang Hede, who is in a foreign country, will always have one person in his heart, that is, Leslie Cheung, whom he has loved all his life. In order to miss Leslie Cheung, Tang Hede specially opened a "Leslie Cheung Treasure Room" in his residence.
That place was filled with items used by Leslie Cheung before his death and a group photo of them, and the scene was busy.
On every day in memory of Leslie Cheung, Tang Hede was always alone, sitting quietly in his so-called "treasure room", staring at the photographs or objects left by Leslie Cheung, pondering, tears inadvertently slipping down. Occasionally, he can't help but say a few words to Leslie Cheung's black-and-white portrait.
Every time Leslie Cheung dies day, Tang Hede always posts on his social account to remember him. Although the expression of the text is different each time, the sincere feelings contained in it are always the same.
Tang Hede has maintained his 20-year-old tradition without change. Some people joked that it was Tang Hede performing, but more people were moved by his enthusiasm. 20 years of perseverance is beyond the reach of even those loyal Golden Retrievers.
Tang Hede has kept a low profile in recent years and rarely shows up, but recently it has been rumored that he is 65 years old and involved in some scandals. Not long ago, there was a photo that circulated showing Tang Hede posing with a young and handsome man. The background of the photo is bright and eye-catching, and it seems to have been taken at a nightclub. The young man was handsome and muscular.
The two are close to each other and have a close relationship.
After these photos were exposed, the entertainment industry instantly boiled, and people speculated about the identity of the young artist and whether he had an inappropriate relationship with Tang Hede, who was already 65 years old.
There are such rumors on the Internet: Tang Hede is tired of the "widowed" life, and has begun to pursue novelty and excitement, and has an affair with young actors.
Tang Hede's friends in the circle did not give a clear response to these speculations, but simply smiled and said that the young and promising man was just the son of a certain tycoon in the circle, and the relationship between him and Tang Hede was just an ordinary friend.
However, just as the public's suspicion of this matter subsided for a while, intimate photos of Tang Hede and a Shanghai rich second-generation Xiao Xianrou were once again circulated on the Internet, and this time the relationship between the two has become more and more intimate, and it is almost inseparable.
Tang Hede took the initiative to get closer, and even got closer, and the cheeks of the two seemed to touch lightly together.
Netizens left messages one after another, wondering whether Tang Hede's "affectionate personality" for Leslie Cheung over the years was a show, and the exposure of this set of photos directly triggered the speculation of "empathy and love".
People wondered if Tang Hede had begun to look for pleasure because he was lonely, and this question began to sprout in people's minds.
In any case, this series of scandals has put Tang Hede in the limelight. Because he has kept a low profile for many years, he now seems to be rejuvenated and ready to embark on a new journey of discovery.
The outside world has all kinds of rumors about Tang Hede, and people can't get rid of it. Some claim that he has been tired of his lonely life for a long time, while others speculate that his rumored new love affair has become his new partner.
At one point, his reputation was tarnished by various noises.
Tang Hede is 65 years old, and he chose not to give a clear response to these speculations. He posted only a brief statement on his social media: "My heart is like the moon." This confession comes from Leslie Cheung's affectionate words to Tang Hede at the concert. He sang this classic song with deep affection, and emphasized that it was a gift he gave to "the person who is vital in my life, my Mr. Tang".
Now, Tang Hede has demonstrated his attitude with these words, clearly showing that deep in his heart, Leslie Cheung will always be an irreplaceable and vital existence. His every expression, every smile, has always remained the same as it was 20 years ago.
Leslie Cheung in Tang Hede's heart, like a bright moon that never fades, is watching him quietly, as if time has also stopped flowing.
We cannot lightly judge Tang Hede's behavior in recent years. Everyone's heart is intricately intertwined, not to mention Tang Hede, who has experienced great changes and pain.
His love and dedication to Leslie Cheung for decades has fully validated the deep affection between the two, so we have no right to speculate or comment on his life and emotions.
We should respect Tang Hede's choice, and at the same time look forward to him and Leslie Cheung continuing this beautiful relationship in the afterlife.
