Chen Kaiga - nomination for the palm branch of the Cannes Film Festival of the dust of the time of dir. Wong Car Vai are happy together Happy Together, dir. Wong Kar Vai, the film was shot on an amateur movie camera.

I received a prize for the best directing and shooting. Wild days dir. He was the first star of Hong Kong until his death. He became a legend during his lifetime. China loved and adored him. The same China killed him, as at one time he almost killed Chow Yun Fata. Only, Chow Yun Fata was pumped out. And Leslie Chun did not leave such an opportunity. How do they say in such cases?

His life tragically broke off him was 46 years old. He was still beautiful, young and talented. But the forces were already running out. Each performance, each concert was a protest - a protest against hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Leslie was increasingly crying at concerts. Each song was a cry of a broken soul. The soul was full of bitterness and pain. Resentment fettered the heart and mind, tied the wings.

Soft and easily elegant by nature, Leslie Chun lasted a whole year with the last forces. The press and the media attacked from all sides and pecked, tearing out living pieces, tearing the heart into pieces. It became more difficult to live than not to live. A concert in Malaysia, the year is a tired, weak, weak, losing weight of the whole concert as if at the limit. In this exhausted person, that energetic, fast, mobile Lesli is hardly recognized, which more recently flew on the stage, it seems that these are the worst, most difficult days.

However, for some more months, and he will raise his head again and smile, his eyes will shine again, he will begin to take antidepressants, and he will become noticeably better, he will recover, apparently adds on weight tablets, will again go in for sports and star in several successful films, including Okinawa Randev, a double shot and “internal feelings” but also ahead.

In the meantime, Leslie cannot hold back tears. He said: “Life is too short, so you need to live it brightly, passionately and optimistic” ... But it was no longer optimistic. And, as it turned out, I did not want to. Shortly before the end, Leslie took a concert tour - "Passion Tour". He was still loved and adored so that what happened? What made a person - a strong, courageous person - decide on this?

In his suicide note, Leslie Chun wrote: “Depression! Thank you very much to all my friends. This year was so tough. I can’t take it anymore. Thank you very much. Many thanks to my family. In my life, I didn’t do anything bad. Why should it happen? It was already a third - this time“ successful ” - his attempt to get rid of the hardships and suffering - in November before, in November before.

Leslie was already trying to be poisoned by the closest to the nearest people to determine what moves a person - the desire to attract attention, the call for help or the inability to endure further. Oddly enough, but relatives or friends are most attentive to the first attempt, as a rule, not successful, but cruel to the family. And soon relatives begin to relate to what happened, like a shocking trick of selfish nature.

Think about relatives! Pity your loved ones! But what about those who have no hands, legs? How are those patients that lie and are waiting in the wings? Because everything hurts inside you, everything suffers, each cell of the body is aching so that sometimes you are no longer happy that you have both hands and legs, and it seems that they didn’t have them, there would be less, what to hurt ...

And again an attempt, and again a call to help. But this time you are already few who will hear. And even less, who will believe. As in the fairy tale where the boy loved to scare everyone and often shouted: “Help, wolves! Friends, who communicated with him in those days, said that they did not notice the impending trouble, that Lesli behaved quite positively.

And, on the other hand, everyone who knew or worked with him says that work in the cinema had a great impact on him, and that, as a rule, he remained in the image of his character for a long time after filming. At that time, he just finished his work in the film “Inner feelings” “Inner Senses” over the role of a psychiatrist, tormented by nightmares and pursued by the ghosts of the past.

Even during the filming of the press, of course, she did not stand aside and did not miss the opportunity to notice that Leslie Chung was not adequately behaved. They even wrote that he was obsessed with demons. As everything was actually, now one can only guess and concern. Whether Leslie Chun wanted to attract attention or desperately called to help his attempts to take his life, this is no longer important.

Only the result is important ... And the result was such that it was simply not enough strength to withstand life further.Despite the flu and SARS epidemic that played at that time, friends, acquaintances and fans gathered from all over the world to spend Leslie. The shelves in stores with records and films of Lesli Chuna were long devastated on the day of the tragedy.

All Hong Kong was shocked. According to Tsui Hark, the film industry befell a heavy blow. No one could understand why this happened. It seemed that this man received from life everything that could be dreamed of. And, nevertheless, everything was left behind, doing something was already too late. However, they say that in China, after this tragic loss, precisely because of love and respect for Lesli, depression began to be recognized as a serious illness.

It is difficult to realize this, but perhaps the death of Leslie was not in vain. People suffering from depression began to be more attentive. They receive the help of specialists. Nevertheless, I want to believe that with my terrible act, Leslie saved at least a few lives on statistics, today in the world 1 people are cum in the world annually. These are official statistics that are known only to obvious cases.

In fact, this figure grows up to 4 million China is considered a country with an average level of suicides - 15 people for each thousand. In the first place in the world there is Russia - 36 people per thousand people. Altai leads in Russia. According to WHO forecasts, the numbers will only grow every year and this becomes a big problem of all mankind. In this regard, September 10 was proclaimed by World Suicide Prevention.

Most often, the reason for leaving life is depression - stupid, muddy, viscous, similar to the cement that they fill you up, and you don’t even flounder, do not want, no strength ... Leslie Chun loved life, and life loved him. He laughed childishly and rejoiced, was surprised and upset. And also childishly - cruel, selfishly and carelessly - left everything that was dear to him and everyone who was dear to him.

He did not leave at all in order to prove something to someone or to declare himself, but driven by only one desire to stop in any way, at all costs that unbearable destroying pain that corroded him from the inside in recent months.
