To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the passing of the legendary star Leslie Cheung, the Hong Kong Cultural Museum is hosting the “Continuing Love‧Leslie Cheung Memorial Exhibition” to allow everyone to reminisce about the grace and charm of our beloved brother in the music and film industry. The exhibition is curated by three close friends of Leslie Cheung, Chan Suk-fan, Cheung Suk-ping, and Ha Wing-hong, who will showcase his classic stage costumes, photos, records, film and television works, music and film awards, and personal collections, reflecting on his outstanding achievements in music, film, and his influence on popular culture. There will also be a special sharing by Tang Ho-tak on Leslie Cheung’s personal collection!
Leslie Cheung (1956 to 2003) made his debut in singing competitions in 1977 and became one of the eternal superstars in the local scene with his exceptional talent and unique style. His musical style was diverse, and he also successfully portrayed various film characters. Over the years, his classic works in music, film, and television have witnessed the flourishing development of the Hong Kong music and film industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Leslie Cheung’s artistic achievements transcend time, space, and boundaries, and have had a profound influence on local popular culture.
