Why did Leslie Cheung commit suicide by jumping off a building?

The most direct reason is naturally its own repression. In addition, Zhang Guo's depression is not a mental illness, but a physical depression caused by the imbalance of chemicals in his brain. Leslie Cheung said to his relatives and friends before his death, "I am rich, kind and happy. Why do I get depression? " It shows that the disease hit him hard and was also the direct cause of his suicide.

Leslie Cheung's fame and popularity had reached the superstar level before his death, but in the end he chose the Yu Wenhua Hotel to jump off a building on April 1 2003. The time, place, people and course of this incident are all puzzling and inconceivable. Coupled with Leslie Cheung's superstar status, it also adds a layer of mystery to the whole event. At present, there are different opinions about the early mystery of Leslie Cheung's suicide.

I. Emotional problems

Leslie Cheung's bisexuality has long been an open secret in the circle. After living with his lover Tang Hede for many years, he also chose to disclose his homosexual identity to the outside world and dared to show his love at the concert. This is very shocking news today, let alone that year. This identity makes him often followed by the media and even questioned by paparazzi about gender issues, which makes him even more distressed by his introverted personality.

The relationship between Leslie Cheung and Tang Hede is not always smooth. It is said that he left a suicide note before jumping off the building, which explained his strange feelings for a young friend and put him in an emotional dilemma. But there is not much evidence to support this statement.

Two. external factor

First, he was tortured by the media harassment caused by his emotional problems. Secondly, during his illness, he made a horror film Inner Senses. The film not only made him fall into a horror fantasy, but also made him hallucinate for a while, and even aggravated his already serious illness, so that he could not get away for a long time after the filming. In severe cases, they suffer from insomnia for a long time and are in a trance all day. Most importantly, because Leslie Cheung has always resisted the fact that he is sick, even to the point of refusing to see a doctor, and the rumors from outside, he himself began to believe in the statement of "seeing ghosts".

It is said that after taking some superstitious measures, his condition improved for a time, which led him to start a long-planned directing job, but in the end his condition worsened because of work pressure, which also made Stealing the Heart his last work.

Three. Physiological diseases

This is the most objective reason for presenting the most evidence at present. Leslie Cheung was told that he suffered from physical depression one year before committing suicide, but people knew little about depression at that time. Leslie Cheung resisted this fact for a period of time, and the pressure brought by work and media aggravated his illness, which eventually led to a dead end.

It has been more than ten years since Leslie Cheung left this year, so why he chose this road is not so important. It is worth pondering that the public's neglect and disdain for depression has caused many people to finally walk into a dead end in the eyes of others. But in fact, depression, like a cold and fever, is an uncontrollable disease. Patients or not, we should treat this disease rationally to avoid the recurrence of Leslie Cheung's tragedy.
