The superstar of a generation "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing passed away on April 1st. Seasons came and went for 18 years, but everyone's love for "Gor Gor" never subsided. Only their endless memories of him increased.

Sam finally performed his own farewell to the music scene CHERISH and sentimentally said, "As a good friend of Cheung Kwok Wing, the following song I hope to represent him in dedicating it to all the 'Gor' fans who liked Leslie around the world. I hope everyone would cherish this lucky land of Hong Kong, and cherish Leslie this both handsome and talented singer even more. I dedicate CHERISH to everyone."

In addition, Tong Tong every year on this day would post to remember his "beloved". As usual, at midnight he posted an old photo of Gor Gor on social media and wrote "Thinking of you". Those words were already able to express his endless memories of Gor Gor! Tong Tong yesterday posted a photo in which Gor Gor was on the deck of a yacht and showed a brilliant and mesmerizing smile. It was the carefree feeling that Gor Gor longed for the most.

Gor Gor's HE IS A WOMAN SHE IS A MAN (GUM JI YUK YIP)'s co-star Anita Yuen wing Yi yesterday posted late at night, "Gor Gor, yesterday I spoke about you with my son.

Having never worked with Gor Gor, Zhang Ziyi never forgot her idol. "Today is here again. If there is if how great would it be...... On April 1st, I was working on JASMINE WOMEN in Shanghai, at the time the SARS pandemic was very severe. We were the only ones left in the studio. I heard the news on way to the set. I kept sticking my head outside on the way, tears kept streaming as the wind continued to blow. This year another pandemic came, would you in Heaven pray for everyone to get over the hard times? Missing you!" At the same time I also posted her eulogy 7 years ago.

Leo Ku Kui Ke posted a photo of Gor Gor and Tony Leung Chiu Wai from the film HAPPY TOGETHER (CHUN GUONG JA SIT). "Tonight, the ceiling has this scene. After 18 years, you still are my Ho Bo Wing." Vivian Chow Wai Man posted videos of working with Gor Gor in remembrance.

Due to the global novel coronavirus pandemic, Chan Suk Fun continued to suspend her meeting with "Gor" fans at Po Fook Hill to ensure everyone's health and safety. However "Gor Gor's" friends Lin Yim Fai, former assistant Kenneth, and Hong Kong "Gor" fans still remembered this important day and went to visit "Gor Gor" on Pok Fook Hill.
