He is an excellent actor and a very powerful actor. There would be no Farewell My Concubine without Leslie Cheung (Chen Kaige Review).
Leslie Cheung's internationally renowned film role made him widely regarded as one of the China actors of his generation (commented by the British Independent Post).
Attitude.
Leslie Cheung is a very dedicated actor. When I was playing opposite him, his eyes were full of drama even though the focus plane was not facing him. He actively cooperated with me (Mei Ting's comments).
When Shi and I went to the set of Farewell My Concubine, we saw him practicing leg press there. Stone found his face very red. Later, I learned that he had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees, but he still kept practicing. (Zhang Manling evaluation)
He will not show his arrogance to his fellow artists or the staff around him. Leslie Cheung is very talented, but he still works hard. He will never be lazy because of his talent. (commented by James J.S.Wong)
When filming Farewell My Concubine, he prepared the script meticulously, and it is normal for actors to forget their lines. However, Leslie Cheung hardly gets stuck in front of the camera, and he is more strict with himself than the director when shooting. (Lei Han evaluation)
His work attitude is first-class, diligent and cooperative, and he has no star shelf. I have never seen a big-name star care about people as much as he does. (Gao Jun evaluation)
Stars go abroad for publicity, and assistants, make-up, hair stylists and bodyguards should be brought, but Leslie Cheung doesn't bring anyone (Huang Baiming's evaluation).
The first-line actor who is very communicative in the circle is actually Leslie Cheung. He will listen to others' opinions with an open mind and then satisfy both sides in the best way. (Pan Wenjie evaluation)
Almost every day on the set, fans come to Leslie Cheung to sign autographs. Leslie Cheung came to everyone. Once, several fans wanted to sign Leslie Cheung's autograph, but they were afraid to ask. When Leslie Cheung saw it, he took the initiative to call them over, not only signing their names, but also taking photos. Leslie Cheung also made careful preparations for his partner. There is a scene in which Cheng Dieyi whips a fourth-grade student. After Leslie Cheung finished filming, he immediately came to my side and cared if I was hurt. I have never seen such a cautious and modest big-name star (Lei Han Review).
Support the younger generation
Leslie Cheung has always been keen to support the younger generation in the entertainment circle, and many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have received his help. He is very kind. He is rarely seen in the entertainment circle in Hong Kong. He has such a mind to treat people. I will follow his example and know how to treat the younger generation in the future (Wang Jie's evaluation).
When Chiu Man-Cheuk first went to Hongkong for development, he didn't know the language and his acting skills were not good, so Leslie Cheung took Chiu Man-Cheuk to act. Leslie Cheung often finds Chiu Man-Cheuk to compete with him. In a completely relaxed state of competing with him, Leslie Cheung asked the photographer to take pictures of him, thus bringing Chiu Man-Cheuk to maturity step by step. I am only a few years younger than him, but he thinks I am his younger brother, so he really takes care of me as his younger brother. No matter in daily life and diet, or have any comments or suggestions for me, he always does it (Jacky Cheung's evaluation).
He knows how to take care of and care for others (Wong Kar-wai Review).
He not only respects his predecessors, but also cares about the younger generation. I have never seen a famous artist care about his younger generation as much as he does. (commented by James J.S.Wong)
He is my first teacher, and the biggest benefit I get from him is that he is patient with the staff and the younger generation around him. When you get along with him, you will find that he takes care of new people. When I was filming "Smoke Fly", I just arrived in Hong Kong and didn't adapt to life there. Leslie Cheung told me that when you came back from America alone, you didn't know anyone, and you didn't have any friends or family here. When you come to Hong Kong in the future, I will be your family. (Wang Leehom evaluation)
Leslie Cheung gave me great help and guidance in acting, and he also helped me practice my lines when I was not acting (Yang Caini commented).
Personality assessment
In Hong Kong entertainment circle, there are not many people who value friendship like Leslie Cheung. (Brigitte Lin evaluation)
After the concert, nearly 100 staff members each received a brand-name gift selected by Leslie Cheung himself, and the paragraphs above and below were written by him personally. When giving gifts, he called out the names of every staff member, regardless of the position. Two people with the same name and surname also shared it clearly, and there was no mistake at all. A gifted friend told me about it. He said the gift was beautiful, but he remembered it was not because of the gift, but because of Leslie Cheung's heart. (commented by James J.S.Wong)
He is a very kind person. He always helped me when I was down and out in Hong Kong. I admire not only his talent, but also his personality. (Comment by Wu Yusen)
Leslie Cheung is a very caring person; He visited me in Beijing seven times before his death, and my husband Shi Zai 1998 got cancer. Leslie Cheung heard the news and then Beijing visited him. As soon as I entered the door, I hugged Shi and called up Teacher Shi. Shi knew that he was very ill and never shed tears, but his tears flowed out at that moment. Leslie Cheung and I worked together for over a month. I am a Peking Opera actor. What can he do for me? But our friendship has always been maintained. I will never forget him (Zhang Manling commented).
He will help actors who are not familiar with acting skills, tell jokes to make colleagues in a bad mood happy, arrange doctors for sick staff, and find a job for a little actor who has difficulties in life (Huang Baiming Review).
Personally, I think he is a great actor (Mei Ting).
He is a real person. When you see him, you will see a word "truth" and a word "love", which are clearly displayed in friendship and love. A drummer sprained his hand at that time. In addition to expressing concern, he also took the initiative to seek medical treatment (comments by Tang Yicong).
The entertainment industry is very weak, but Leslie Cheung, as an expensive superstar, doesn't mention money at all to me, only talks about friendship, so it's hard to meet such intimate friends. (Liu Peiji evaluation)
Leslie Cheung is keen on charity and takes an active part in various charity activities. He is particularly enthusiastic about helping children. In the 1980s, he donated part of his remuneration from concerts in Hong Kong and overseas to local children's associations. From the end of 1996 to the beginning of 1997, Leslie Cheung personally donated one million yuan to the Children's Cancer Foundation before holding a solo concert. Leslie Cheung keeps a low profile. He doesn't want to make his charity public. Many good things he did were done quietly, and he didn't want to spoil them because of media reports.
