Heavy-hearted fans of Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing are expected to arrive from around the world to commemorate the first anniversary of his death.
The 46-year-old singer jumped from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on April 1 last year.
Teacher Julie Ng said she would start paying her tribute to Cheung on Tuesday by attending Mass at a church in Tsim Sha Tsui, where she has booked a service in Cheung's name on the first day of each month since June last year.
She will then go to the unveiling of Cheung's wax figure at Madame Tussaud's on the Peak at 3pm the next day, followed by an event at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Thursday, April 1.
'I still can't believe such a perfect, kind and gifted artist has left us. I had never cried so much in my life before,' she said.
She said she could relate so well to Cheung because they were about the same age and were both from broken families.
About 800 tickets to the memorial function at the Mandarin, costing $180 each, have sold out.
