I think it's because of the right time and place.
Timing
1984-1994 is the golden decade of Hong Kong's music industry, the newly emerged Alan Tam, Anita Mui, Lin Zixiang, Zhong Zhentao, and Leslie Cheung created a more brilliant situation. Since then, Hong Kong pop music has entered a period of development in full swing. Leslie Cheung is the inevitable result of commercialized means. From his own conditions, his powdered child's face is the reason to win the passion of the stargazers.

People and
Chang lived a cold life, singing love songs, do what you want to do. The most brilliant time is also the most lonely, the most prosperous time is also the most sad. Career as the sky after he was not happy, but he is very heavy feelings. His great achievements in his career were not the reason why people admired him; most people admired him more as a human being. Celebrities such as Brigitte Lin, Wong Cham, John Woo, Cheung Man Ling, Wong Pak Ming, Mei Ting, Tang Yi Chung, Lau Pui Kei, Tony Leung and Stephen Chow have all publicly praised Cheung.
The showbiz world is thin on favors, but the deepest feeling that Leslie Cheung, as a superstar with a huge price tag, has given to his friends around him is one of camaraderie. The reason why he is loved by so many people and can always live in everyone's heart is not only because of the superstar light on him, but also because of his personal charisma.
