Did Leslie Cheung ever say to Anita Mui, "I will marry you before you get married at the age of 40"?

If you mention Hong Kong stars active in the 20th century, I believe many people’s first reaction will be Leslie Cheung.

Leslie Cheung is a very good actor. He has appeared in many movies such as "Ashes of Time", "Midnight Song", "The Legend of the White-haired Witch", "Farewell My Concubine", and "A Chinese Ghost Story". The performance is still unforgettable and is known as a classic among classics.

Leslie Cheung is also a very good singer. His concerts can be said to be sold out. He has left classic songs such as "When Love Is a Past", "I", and "A Chinese Ghost Story" to this day. It is still sung by everyone.

Of course, as a Hong Kong superstar, Leslie Cheung has not only attracted everyone's attention for his acting works, but his own emotional life has also attracted everyone's attention.

As we all know, Leslie Cheung's crush is his childhood sweetheart Tang Hede. In fact, if it were placed in the mainland today, it would be difficult for everyone to accept Leslie Cheung's love affair. Fortunately, Leslie Cheung's era was Hong Kong in the last century, and the ideas at that time were more open than now, so Leslie Cheung did not affect his popularity because of this relationship.

In addition to Tang Hede, Leslie Cheung also has a very deep relationship with another actress. The two can be described as "siblings with the same affection." And this actress is Anita Mui.

However, there is a saying on the Internet that Leslie Cheung said to Anita Mui: "If you are not married when you are forty, I will marry you." Because of this sentence, many people People think that Leslie Cheung is very sentimental. On the one hand, he recognizes Tang Hede as his true love, but on the other hand, he says such things to Anita Mui. It is really irresponsible.

However, in fact, Leslie Cheung has never said such words, and the person who said these words is actually Anita Mui. At that time, Anita Mui was drunk and suddenly said to Leslie Cheung: "If I am not married when I reach forty, will you marry me?" At that time, Leslie Cheung replied: "You are a crazy person."

And this past incident, after being passed on by word of mouth and continuously processed, finally evolved into the version in which Leslie Cheung said these words to Anita Mui.

In fact, Leslie Cheung also made a statement on this matter later. It was on a TV show that Anita Mui participated in. Leslie Cheung expressed his wish that she could find her right husband as soon as possible through a short film: "I remember you once said to me, 'If I am not married when I am forty years old, you will marry me. How am I? 'I don't want this to happen!"

So, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui have a really good "sister" relationship, and this is actually just a beautiful misunderstanding.
