   Anyone missing some Leslie Cheung? A Chinese Ghost Story is one of my favourite movies in the world, and so is this beautiful song he say.
   PS: The movie is based on one of the Tales from "Tales from a Chinese Studio", an ancient compendium of ghost/supernatural stories from the 16th century.

     @Munkao Still remember the sad day I heard the news. And how Anita Mui lamented, "Why did you leave me behind, gor gor?"
     So damn sad.

     @liztai ME!
     I've been watching quite a few old HK films, and seeing Leslie Cheung made me feel a bit sad.

     @toridas_ Actually I think the same thing - these days Chinese dramas, especially those idol dramas, have actors whose beauty doesn't seem real. The actors during this time - the 90s were earthy men who were both gorgeous yet really real.
     Listening to the song, I realised I forgot what a fantastic singer he was.

     @liztai I was rewatching Ashes of Time just a few days ago. I wish East Asian stars still had the same look, I don't know how to describe it but they looked human, and yet undeniably gorgeous and charismatic. I mean, no one could've looked at Leslie Cheung and complained because that guy was such a powerhouse performer AND a looker!
