Tony Leung Speaks to Leslie Cheung at Commemorative Concert

Tony Leung was one of the special guests who appeared at Leslie Cheung's commemorative concert, Miss You Much Leslie. During the concert, Tony used one of Leslie's favourite lines from the film Days of Being Wild as his opening dialogue. "What you want to remember will always be remembered". Tony appeared on stage as the theme song to movie played in the background. Tony says, "I remember you used to love the dialogue from this movie. Since you've been gone more than 3,000 days ago, I finally understood the meaning behind these words. After so many years, it made me realize the significance in preserving these moments. Even though we can no longer meet, I won't forget the friend I've made in a minute. Sometimes when I look up in the sky, I will search for a bird without legs."

"It's a little sad here tonight because we are missing an important person. We haven't met for ten years, but I really want to know, do you still miss us?" The screen jumps to a footage from one of Gor Gor's concerts. Leslie says, "I've missed all of you the most."

During another segment in the concert, Tony reveals a secret. "There's something that I've always wanted to tell you. Not long after you left, I still continued keeping your number on my cellphone. There was a time I accidentally pressed your number and heard a very familiar voice…" The recording plays out on stage and everyone hears Leslie's voice asking to 'leave a message'. Tony continues speaking, "At that time, I left a message for you. I said, 'Why don't we start over from the beginning?' When we filmed Happy Together, that was a line Ho Po Wing often used when speaking to Lai Yiu Fai. I'm sure I'm not the only one on stage tonight who wishes we could start over from the beginning. If you could leave a message for us now, what would you want to say?"

The screen jumps to a footage from Leslie's 2000 Passion Tour concert. Gor Gor says, "If it weren't for everyone here, I wouldn't have been able to stand for so long, for so many years. However, it's hard for me to say these words in Chinese, because it seems kind of….but I'll say it in English. 'I love you, I love you all!'"

Aside from Tony, performers included Anthony Wong, Hins Cheung, Joey Yung, Grasshoppers, Julian Cheung, Vivian Chow, Tai Chi, Leo Ku, Andy Hui, Karen Mok, Kiki Sheung, Kelly Chen and Jacky Cheung. All the performers came together and sang 'The Moon Represents My Heart' to conclude the concert.
