Leslie Cheung

Dubbed the King of Canto-Pop, Leslie Cheung (born Cheung Kwok Wing) was an iconic singer, actor and LGBTQ pioneer when not many stars were open about their identities. Throughout his 26-year career Cheung released several successful albums and appeared in dozens of films, most notably as Cheng Dieyi in the 1993 film Farewell My Concubine and as Ho Po-wing in the 1997 film Happy Together
