This year's installment of the Hong Kong International Film Festival began two days ago and I've viewed three of its offerings already. At some point, I'll get to reviewing those films (as has been my usual practice for some years now). But today, on the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong entertainment legend Leslie Cheung's passing, here's sharing photos attesting to many people still remembering and loving him after all these years.
Like as was the case last year, Hong Kong's not so finest were at the scene where fans have regularly gathered to pay tribute to the man affectionately known as "Gor Gor" (older brother). This time around, with close to zero Covid regulations in force any longer, they couldn't shoo people away from the area by the Mandarin Oriental -- people there to remember Leslie by laying down flowers to the scene or admiring the many, often quite beautiful floral tributes that fellow fans had touchingly contributed to the scene...
by the side of the Mandarin Oriental too
looks to be A Chinese Ghost Story
a message we can all take to heart

Ah Leslie. He had so many good movies left to do.
Hi Brian --
...and so many songs to sing and concerts to headline too. Sad. But also amazing that 20 years on, he's remembered and loved so much still.
I still like to see a film festival.
Coffee is on and stay safe.
Hi peppylady --
I hope you get to one some day soon!
