The film class was suddenly changed to "A Chinese Ghost Story" because Zhang committed suicide by jumping off the building the day before. The teacher recalled the scene when he was a student in Beijing Film Studio. He watched a lot of dull and depressing art films. When the night came, the students always sneaked to the nearby video hall to watch Hong Kong movies. Everyone laughed and shouted happily. The dull depression was vented out, and when I walked out of the video room, I felt extremely relieved.
Everything in the memory is beautiful and fascinating. Leslie Cheung's and other Hong Kong-made films have accompanied us, the people born in the 1960s and 1970s, through a period of youthful years. When "A Chinese Ghost Story" was shown that night, the classmates in the classroom also reflected the same as the teacher who was a student at the time. The classroom sometimes burst into laughter, sometimes screamed, and watched it with enthusiasm.
Watching "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", it was the second week after Leslie Cheung jumped off the building, so I watched it on purpose. It was already ten o'clock after the movie ended, and I came back in the dark of night. The first part of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" is undoubtedly a good film. It leaves people with an aftertaste while laughing happily. Unlike the second part, it is purely a continuation of the dog's tail, which is very absurd and boring.
Hong Kong movies are a kind of diverse existence. There are some types that are full of commerce, some types that are very artistic, and the other type is a combination of commerce and art. The film itself is not lacking in artistic achievements, but also makes the audience interested in watching it. Exuberant, clapping hands and applauding, such as "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" 1, "A Chinese Ghost Story". The same is true of Leslie Cheung. He is an artist who can be enjoyed by both the refined and the popular, and is suitable for all ages. That’s why so many fans, old and young, weep and mourn at the ceremony of bidding farewell to him.
