Why did Leslie Cheung die?

On April 0, 2003, 1 fell from the 24th floor of Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong due to depression. At the age of 46.

Depression: There are two kinds of depression in medicine. One is clinical depression, which belongs to the biochemical category because of the imbalance of brain chemicals. This is purely physiological. One is that, as we all know, there are unhappy things. And he is a physiological depression, which can only be treated by drugs. This is a real disease, as real as cancer and other diseases, and it is one of the most terrible cases in the world. Depression should be taken seriously.

Li Lanni once declared: "Depression is more terrible than cancer. In other words, it is impossible for people to take any preventive measures against physiological depression. Even if you are cheerful, lively and kind, physical depression may come to you without warning, which is beyond anyone's control.

The etiology and treatment of depression are different, but the manifestations are similar, even more serious than psychology. Physiological depression is similar to the defect of neural regulation in the brain, which can lead to insomnia, abnormal muscle twitching, auditory hallucination, hallucination and even completely change a person. I am depressed because of illness. The so-called suicidal thoughts and behaviors are simply one of the symptoms of patients.

Leslie Cheung's disease has reached a serious stage, causing pain in all parts of the body. Mrs. Chen once said, "Every time he gets sick, every muscle on his body seems to be broken." A doctor once said: "When physiological depression has spread to the extent of systemic disease, there is no hope."

However, at that time, he was able to go on strongly, seeking medical treatment everywhere and taking a lot of medicine. He often says that he is so lucky to have so many people who love him that he can't leave. The first word of his suicide note is depression, and the end is "I have done something wrong all my life." Why? " More naked expression of his extreme helplessness, nostalgia for the world and unwillingness to his own life.

Many people don't understand why he chose this way to refuse to leave when he has everything. The only explanation is that after years of struggling with the disease that goes deep into the bone marrow, I think those "moral" accusations against him are very cruel and indifferent.

He's just sick. Depression is a disease. He was just defeated by the disease. He also sought medical treatment everywhere and actively cooperated with the treatment. But he is not a god. I really don't understand why cancer dies in a dignified way, but depression is blamed. Even when euthanasia is gradually understood and tolerated in legislative proposals, Leslie Cheung's death is still a negative textbook full of discrimination and satire. Did he commit suicide or kill someone?

There are still many hypothetical blind spots about depression, and the medical community still has a long way to go to solve it. Depression is terrible, but misreading, misleading, ignorance, indifference and discrimination are even more terrible.

Leslie Cheung was always keen on charity. Many people in the entertainment circle are talking about him and praising his personality charm. He is very low-key, and many good things are done quietly, and he doesn't want to screw up because of media hype.

The last news before his death was about donating money to the Foundation to End Child Sexual Abuse. In the last days of his life, he secretly remitted his salary to Cary, a domestic servant and driver; He left a gift to his friend; He left most of his property to his partner of 20 years to ensure a carefree life for the rest of his life. He is a very respected person in Hong Kong. No matter an 80-year-old man or a child, he is called "brother". This is Leslie Cheung.
