In 84 days, it will be April 1, 2008, the fifth anniversary of Leslie’s death. Florence Chan has called on Jacky Cheung, Tony Leung (Chiu Wai), Corina Lau, Karen Mok, Elisa Chan, the Grasshopper, Eason Chan, etc. to perform in a big memorial show in the Coliseum to commemorate Leslie.

Time flies, Gorgor has left us for five years now, however, his good friends and thousands of fan friends still remember him fondly. In view of this, Florence Chan has quietly created an idea to hold ten performances in different parts of the world from April 1 (his death anniversary) to September 12 (his birth anniversary) to commemorate him, with performances on April 1 and September 12 to be held in Hong Kong. Like the lyrics in “Left Right Hand”: “You have left us, yet scattered all over the places”.

Florence Chan to Make the First Move
According to the sources, Florence Chan has successfully booked the Hong Kong Hung Hom Coliseum for April 1st in order to hold the commemorate activity and has invited Gorgor’s good friends in the showbiz to partake. Our reporter called Mrs. Chan and she confirmed that she is in the process of contacting Gorgor’s good friends but the list of people who will be performing is still at its preliminary stage. Since Mrs. Chan is busy with Jacky Chan’s world tour performance right now, so far she has only invited some of Gorgor’s good friends. She said, “For friends whom I haven’t already contacted, I hope they will understand my situation and take the initiative to contact me instead.”

Mrs. Chan guarantees that she will put in all her heart and efforts into this production. She said, “It will be in a form of musical concert, all the songs will have something to do with Gorgor. (Then what will Tony Leung and Corina Lau perform?) Nothing is confirmed yet, but surely they will perform something. (Will Gorgor’s good friend Daffy Tong be attending?) I will first work on the rundown. Nothing is clear as yet.”

Activities in China, Hong Kong and Japan
Apart from Hong Kong, Mrs. Chan also plan to hold memorial activities in other places. “Because fans from other places all have hearts, so my goal is to hold ten performances going to places that Gorgor loved, including Japan, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, etc. Japanese fans are very sentimental. Every year, they fold many paper cranes and delivered to Gorgor’s house; Hangzhou was where Leslie filmed his last photo album book, therefore, it has special meaning. Both death and birth anniversaries will be held in Hong Kong, however, since the Colliseum will be closed on September 1st, therefore, we will have to look for alternate venue.
