This is the 16th year that Leslie had decided to end his life. This movie portrays his golden year in music and film industry. He is so enchanting being a music producer, together with the mature acting of Lau and natural portrayal of Yuen.
A fond memory of his flair in music. The movie will be remembered by his died hard and 'post wing' young fans.

It was a happy story in the movie, but a sad ending in real life. A lyric song by Leslie goes, "Singing in the wind with a smile, even bitter can become happiness". The song is charming. Leslie wrote it for a couple who are his father's friends.
Leslie Cheung has two kinds of state. He likes playing music with his father's friends, which suggested he is a gay. He can't tell anybody, especially in the past entrainment circle of Hong Kong. He likes two ladies in the movie. He choose the second. Because she is pure. She believe dreams and future. When Leslie said Africa, she looked forward to go, like a young girl. Leslie wrote the second song, "Ordinary is important".

Rose (Lau) & Sam (Cheung) are a superstar singer and her brilliant manager. They are also lovers. Wing (Yuen), a spunky and resourceful young woman, is one of their biggest fans. When Sam holds a contest to find a new male pop star, Wing cuts her hair and ... you can guess the rest. Misunderstandings and love triangles!
"Tootsie" & "Victor, Victoria" are two movies that deal with similar issues of gender and fame, and this movie is just as entertaining. Anita Yuen is very good (& attractive) as BOTH a boy and a girl, and it's easy to see why Sam and Rose fall for her. Leslie Cheung sings a terrific song called "Chase," and Carina Lau makes a great bossy diva.

An excellent parody into the workings of the Canto-pop industry for those familiar AND unfamiliar with it. Especially interesting that Leslie Cheung, a real life Canto-pop legend, plays the producer "Sam," to Carina Lau's singer-superstar "Rose." There are plenty of scenes involving music and songwriting, the best being the scene where the film's theme song "Chase" is "written" and performed by Cheung himself. Hilarious audition moments in the beginning of the film parody Chinese pop music, as well as equally funny portrayals of fan obsession. Poignant scenes between Lau and Yuen as "sisters," as well as for Cheung and Yuen while stuck in a darkened elevator. Carina Lau is perfect as the diva and Anita Yuen is truly phenomenal in her HKFilm award-winning turn as the gender-turned "Wing." Leslie Cheung is at the top of his form as straight man (no pun intended!). Laugh-out-loud comedy and great acting all around.
This film is my heart. I have watched it too many times and I am already familiar with it. Every time I take it out, I have to wait for it instead of watching a movie. I wait for every funny joke. Play "Chasing" in front of the piano and wait for him to say to her, "Good male and female, I know that I like you." Then I will laugh at every laugh, when "Chasing" sounds The handsome man intoxicated by his different angles will shed tears of joy in the hot kiss at the end of his confession.
I like this fairy tale, to the point where I can't say the plot briefly, I can recite every detail of it, but I won't tell it, because I can't tell more than the movie itself. If I must say, I can only summarize it in four words, the ideal of love, which is the ideal of love, aside from identity, status, appearance and gender, the only thing I care about is the matching of the soul, the important thing is only you. In a comic that I love about homosexual love, the actor has such a fierce confession, "If it were me ... whether he was a man or a woman ... whether it was a cat or a dog, or a plant OK ... the machine ... I will always find him, and ... I will absolutely love him ", every word of this paragraph is knocked on my heart, makes me smile, in the ideal of love, you are You, heaven and earth, and truth, exist when you say it, worship when you make it, and you love me if you call me. So, staying in the sea with flashing eyes, or some boobs, or a flowing white skirt, it does n't matter anymore, even the dark claustrophobia is not important. Kiss up, in the end, Liang Chen and the beautiful scenery have not failed.
Such a person performs a good show and sings a good song. His friends miss it every year after his death. The fans never forget it. Of course it is not difficult to imagine how he treated people with gentleness and loyalty during his lifetime. Thinking of this, dignity cannot be extricated.
Interviewing Chen Kexin, he said this: "In Hong Kong, whether it is his perfectionism, his private life or his acting skills, our minds are too small."
If we can leave you, how good? Do n't say anything that just passed away like this before the demise of the wind, we are equally happy to see you slowly grow old but calm and peaceful face, will not abandon you, just do n't be so tragic, always remember , Touched, and sighed that he couldn't stop himself, it was too cruel.
