L22-1 Favorite actor/actress

Leslie Cheung, singer and actor from Hongkong, who is regarded as one of the most talented and greatest celebrities in China, is the one I like the most.

His most famous role was in the Oscar-nominated 'Farewell My Concubine', this film saw him rise to international fame. In the film Cheung played a gay opera singer who falls in love with a fellow performer.

Besides his excellent performance in films, he rose to fame as a singer in the 1980's. I remember that it was in my high school when I first listened to Leslie's songs. I was deeply moved by his tender voice which seems like has magic power. I fell in love with his songs, no matter the ones with quick beats or slow, no matter the ones performed in Cantonese, mandarin or English.

Deep in the bottom of my heart, Leslie is unquestionably the best actor and singer so far. I will never forget the happiness and sadness his films and music have brought to me.
