The first time I met Leslie Cheung was some ten years’ ago when I was still working at the television station. He was already very popular then. In the capacity of a singer, he met with the press after having been invited to appear at the television station’s recorded program. At that time, television was my main field. I was a little curious and excited to hear that Leslie had come. It was my first time meeting him, but he impressed me as a polite and gentle person yet always kept a distance. He was not someone who would easily open up his mind and talk freely.
After working in the movie field, I had more opportunities to be in touch with Leslie. Very naturally, we became closer. The deepest impression I had was in 1993 at the Toyko International Film Festival. At that time, Leslie was one of the judges on the film preview panel. Representing Taiwan was the movie “Rebels of the Neon God”; it was Director Tsai Ming-liang’s maiden work. It was awarded the best movie award in that festival. With my own eyes, I saw Leslie’s passion and enthusiasm in helping and guiding newcomers.
Ten years ago, Taiwan movies were at the starting point to shine and glow in the international film world. When I saw Chinese juror crossing path with new Taiwanese director at the international film festival, I would have a sense of unexplanable excitement and anticipation, always felt that if they had the fate to meet and exchange their attainment about movies (absolutely not trying to garner votes), that would be a wonderful thing. After I raised this with Leslie, he agreed right away and took the initiative to invite Tsai Ming-liang to dinner. Afterwards, Director Tsai took the grand prize and Leslie seemed to be more excited than Director Tsai. I have not asked Director Tsai what he felt then, but as an onlooker, I could feel that Leslie respected and thought highly of talented people.
