Japanese fans yesterday went to Po Fook Hill to pay their respect to Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing. Mainland fans brought fresh flowers and offerings on their own. Almost a hundred fans filled the zen hall. Chan Suk Fun brought the all star autographed memorial concert poster and prepared paper sports car, Hong Kong Coliseum and director chair for Gor Gor.

The Art of Leslie Cheung's Movies exhibition started yesterday to the 8th and would be open to the public for free at the Hong Kong Central Library. His beloved Daffy Tong Hok Tak loaned Gor Gor's FAREWELL TO MY CONCUBINE (BA WONG BIT GEI) Japan Film Critic Association Foreign Film Best Actor award to be displayed. Also shown are costumes, stills, posters, and 7 film's classic sets. Red Mission revealed that biggest dream was to build a Leslie Cheung museum.

Meanwhile, TVB and ATV on Sunday scheduled special programs to remember Cheung Kwok Wing. TVB's 7PM program LARGER THAN LIFE LESLIE had an average rating of 14 points, around 890,000 viewers and a peak rating of 19 points. The 10PM broadcast of the MISS YOU MUCH LESLIE concert was aired twice and ran until 4AM. The program's average rating was 13 points, as 830,000 viewers remembered Gor Gor in front of their televisions. The Broadcasting Authority received 5 complaints about the programs, citing they promoted homosexuality, cross dressing and had indecent content that had bad influence on children.

ATV's 10:30PM repeat broadcast of a Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing interview had an 1 point rating as 64,200 viewers relived Gor Gor's past glory.

A Leslie Cheung memorial art exhibit opened in a Sheung Wan studio yesterday. 16 art pieces with Gor Gor's image from artists from Hong Kong, Korea, England, Japan and other places were on display.

Mr. Lam said that the art exhibit will be moved to Busan to coordinate with the Busan Film Festival because in May a Gor Gor film retrospective will take place there.

The Cheung Kwok Wing international fan club organized Red Mission last night held at the Cultural Center LOVE JOURNEY tenth anniversary memorial concert. Hong Kong Youth Symphonic Orchestra played Gor Gor's film music and songs to coordinate with the live film video. Band Tai Chi's lead singer Patrick Lui Yau Fai performed HOT. The Japanese ballet dancer Kazuhiro Nishijima who has worked with Gor Gor and pianist Anthony Sun performed. Lui Yau Fai said that the fan club every year would invite him to attend. As for the performance salary, he said, "We don't worry about that. Gor Gor has given so much to us, this time I am just giving back to him." The concert proceeds will be donated to the End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation.
