Fans gathered at the Madam Tussaud's Waxworks in Hong Kong for a memorial ceremony, during which exquisite paper cuttings of the Hong Kong singing legend were unveiled.

The event is co-sponsored by the China Paper-cutting Arts Association. A renowned paper-cut artist plans to produce over 200 works based on Leslie Cheung's 1993 Palme d'Or film, Farewell My Concubine.

Leslie Cheung, a legend in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, committed suicide last year.
