(4/4/2003) Two nights ago Universal Hong Kong chief Chan Siu Bo appeared on TVB's Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing memorial program. He mentioned that Gor Gor liked to use English titles for his records.  

Gor Gor was the one who suggested the record title for his 1988 release VIRGIN SNOW, which was from Don McLean's song VINCENT. Don McLean was one of Gor Gor's favorite singers. When he competed in a singing contest he also sang a Don McLean song, AMERICAN PIE. Chan Siu Bo said he and Gor Gor have talked about the song VINCENT. The song was written for Vincent van Gogh. Chan Siu Bo felt one of the verses, "You took your life as lovers often, I could have told you, Leslie (originally Vincent), there's no one in the world as beautiful as you..." properly described Gor Gor. He said Gor Gor really enjoyed helping people, whether they accept it or not.


 

 Teresa Mo : Gor Gor's First Love ?

 

  

           It had always made known that Teresa Mo and Gor Gor were once an item. As close as they are, they never get to make it together as husband and wife.......but they had always remain friends , good friends.Their chemistry are unmistakable....which is easily spotted if you had watch some of the series of All Wells End Wells, which in the 90's used to be the "movie" to watch during Chinese New Year.

 (4/4/03)        Teresa Mo Shu Kwan yesterday returned to her morning radio program. "He was like a sibling to me. My daughters call him Little Uncle. When it happened the three of us were all crying. Yesterday I mourned all day at home. This morning although I still haven't accepted this fact, when I heard Gor Gor's songs I remember everything that he has said to me, highlight of his life, but I feel I need to be strong and face the facts. I know everyone who knew Gor Gor is beyond heart broken, but we need to be strong and bravely face this."

 

 

   
(a) Sandra Ng Kwan Yu said on her radio program after taking a day off, "I really missed this friend and I am very sorry." She said that not everyone can control certain inner demons, so no one can judge what Gor Gor did.


(4/4/2003)    Karena Lam Ka Yun broke down at a radio interview yesterday because she appreciated how well Gor Gor has treated her. 

Karena :   "I remember one time we went to Macau for the movie. I mistakenly heard that we were taking a helicopter there. When I got there I found we were taking the                  hovercraft, so I asked, 'Aren't we taking a helicopter?' 

Gor Gor heard and said, 'Do you want to take the helicopter?'" 

Then he arranged for a helicopter ride. Although the ride was only 15 minutes long, Gor Gor's sensitivity has deeply affected her. 

She disagreed that Gor Gor had problems from not being able to leave his INNER SENSES (YI DOH HUNG GAN) role behind because she felt he was so professional that as soon as the director yelled cut he would return to reality, how could he have a problem?

In fondest memory : Eliza Chan Kit Ling words to Gor Gor

(4/4/2003)

          I am in the garden of your home with your best friend, the one who has been with you a lifetime and the one you love the most Tong Tong! We completely cannot feel that you have already left us.

        I am looking at your usual spot in the living room, the doorway the you like to lean against the most, I can almost see your shadow.

       On Monday, the day before you left, we still went to your house and play mahjong as usual. Lately you have been very "lucky", winning tens of thousands, but friends who know you know that your etiquette was very great. Your mahjong friends Susie Wong, Seung San Si Noi and I all enjoyed playing with you!

        Do you still remember? One time you were missing One Dot to win, I gave it to you, but you couldn't find the hand you won with and it turned out I drew from your hand! Back then everyone could not stop laughing. We had truly way too many mahjong stories, do you remember?

        We love to make fun of you. Normally you are often praised to be handsome, but we always say mahjong brought out your "true face". You never knew whether to laugh or to cry......too bad now all of them are just memories and we will have to wait until next life to meet again!

        You always loved to share with me professionally. Everyone helped each other. I am the happiest about being able to duet with you on a hit like JI PA BUT JOI YU SEUNG (ONLY AFRAID OF NOT MEETING AGAIN)!

         Happy times go especially fast, you and I have already known each other for 20 some years......in these two days I have been telling myself, this time you are just like Roman (Law Man), immigrating to Iceland, only without bringing a phone or fax machine...... Don't worry! We all know who wanted to leave behind the least.

        Although there have been many speculations outside, we are all very certain that you and Tong Tong had no problem. There was no so-called third party. We will protect him and keep him company through the days without you and get through this sudden difficulty. Your

Beloved,

 Friend Eliza Chan Kit Ling
