On April 1 2003, Leslie Cheung fell from the 24th floor of Wenhua Oriental Hotel and died at the age of 46.
Before falling from the building, he wrote a note that read: "Depression, thank you, friends, and thank you, Professor Mai Liefei. It's been a hard year, and I can't stand it any longer. Thank you, Mr. Tang, my family and my fat sister. I have never done anything bad in my life. Why? "
Lin Wenjie, a medical professor, said, "I am sure that his final behavior was not voluntary or controllable. First of all, Leslie Cheung is very aware of the seriousness of his illness and actively seeks medical treatment. At the end of the suicide note, "I have never done anything bad in my life. Why? "This also expresses his extreme helplessness and his desire to stay in this world."
