HK Star Leslie Cheung Jumps to Death
imdb filmography

I was trying to place the Japanese connect to the actor who did great classics likeOver the Rainbow Under the Skirt (1994) and Nam Kong Legend: Anti-Punk Squad (1992).

Then I found Okinawa Rendez-vous (2000) and Moonlight Express so I guess all us FG have seen the films on Japanese TV a zilliopn times.

Leslie Cheung's 'Chinese Ghost Story'

why,why why? I have seen a lot of his movies since young, it is so sad to know this..and also (sigh) why it happened in that hotel?

Aside from this topic, I really had a bad day today at work, I feel I am a totally, completely fucked gaijin. due to my poor Japanese skill, I had a very tough time. I just couldn't stop crying from the moment I walked out from my working place. I am so frustrated, so sad, so angry and feel so hopeless. My head is feeling a bit heavy now. Anyone of you here ever experience this? So frustrated that you want to scream? Feeling like giving up everything here and strat to pack your luggage? sigh...sigh... crowned me the fucked gaijin of the day.

After 20 years here all I can say when I have days like yours is, "!@#$%^&*()!!"

The great thing about Japan, is that I can put on a sincere smile and tell my morphologically atavistic bosses that we must, "we must eschew synecdoches." That'll ruin their day and always put a smile of Buddha back on my face.

I often have days that can only be solved on top of a roof with an AK-47 but I take a deep breath, perhaps some hard liquor and get through it somehow.

So Tina - you are not alone.

...most film fans will have seen him in a John Woo or Wong Kar-wai film... Another Japanese connection is 'Anna Magdalena'

My Japanese friends reminded me that his suicide could be attributed to his sad love life..he never seemed to be able to resolve his inner conflicts (he was gayer than pink teeth and wasn't acting his oyama parts).

Thanks to everyone. I was really feeling very down yesterday. Although I am still not that confident but I want to continue to try. Tough to be Gaijin, tougher to be Female Gaijin, toughest to be Asian Female Gaijin.

Sales rush, theories follow star's suicide

Fans of bisexual singer-actor Leslie Cheung rushed Asian music stores this week to buy his albums, while news outlets speculated at length about the circumstances surrounding his suicide on Tuesday.

...The contents of a brief suicide note found in Cheung's pocket were made public on Wednesday. The first word -- "depression" -- is written in English, reported Apple Daily, and the rest is in Chinese. He reportedly thanks his psychiatrist and his longtime partner, Tong Hock Tak, and ends with a question: "I've never done a bad thing in my life, why this?"

Speculation about the meaning of the note's last question has been rampant in the Asian media, with the most prevalent theory centering on relationship trouble with his partner of 18 years.

I have posted my problems before, so you know I can sympathize with being an FG and having problems at work. In fact, the FG party may turn out to be a farewell party for me as well. We'll see.
