The film's success enabled Cheung to branch out in his film work, and, in 1988, the same year he starred in the sequel to A Better Tomorrow, he played the opium-smoking playboy lead in Stanley Kwan's Rouge, a romantic ghost story that oscillates between the Hong Kong of the 1930s and that of 1987.

When Cheung's death from an apparent suicide was announced in April 1, 2003, the international film community suffered a devastating blow and legions of fans had a difficult time grasping how an actor of such talent could end his life with one fateful leap while still in the prime of his career.

 glbtq >> arts >> Cheung, Leslie
Cheung played one of a pair of gay lovers in Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together (1997), an ironically titled piece because the couple, who make a trip to Argentina to rekindle their relationship, fail to find their longed-for happiness.
Speculation about Cheung's sexual orientation had been rife for some years, but he had always dodged questions, fearing that revelation of his relationship might be deleterious to Tong's career.
Cheung, who had long suffered from depression and had reportedly tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills the previous year, left a note in which he thanked Tong, his family, and his friends, but concluded poignantly, "I have not done one single bad thing in my life.

 The Japan Times Online
Cheung -- a Canto-pop crooner who rose to cinematic fame in the '80s in the action-fantasies of Tsui Hark ("Chinese Ghost Story") and the bullet-ballets of John Woo ("A Better Tomorrow") -- once considered turning his back on stardom and leaving it all behind.
Cheung's career hit new heights, and -- for a pretty-boy actor who'd kept his sexual orientation discreetly closeted -- the role hinted at new possibilities for his career, that he could expose this previously hidden side of his psyche and audiences would still love him.
Cheung himself may or may not have done it for love, but it's clear the sadness and anguish he brought to his most intense roles was inseparable from his own being.

 Hong Kong Sculptor: Cheung Yee
Cheung Yee was born in 1936 Canton and graduated in 1958 from Fine Art of Taiwan Normal University.
But the fullness and vigor in Cheung's sculptures did not come from their retention, if in Picasso or Francis Bacon made, of the original shapes of tortoises, dragons and masks of Shang bronzes.
Cheung Yee has slowly turned away in his wood sculptures, from the stark fl (which he used to burn into the wood) to studied appreciation of the wood's natural colors and grains.

 Little Cheung: review by Shelly Kraicer
Little Cheung teams up with Fan, a girl his age who, along with her mother, is an illegal immigrant from China.
In a striking sequence, Little Cheung, in school, celebrates the "return to the motherland" with a flag waving mass salute bristling with regimented lines of schoolchildren and rigidly symmetrical camerawork (Chan needs nothing more explicit than this to comment on the HK Special Administrative Region's new political climate).
And contrast this with the film's iconic image of Little Cheung naked from the waist down on the base of a pillar in the middle of the street, standing as punishment for having tried to run away from home.
