So-Sze Wong revealed a rarely known secret. She was smiling and asked: “Does anyone know why “Ge Ge (哥哥)” was called “Ge Ge”? Do you want to know this secret?” Then she revealed the secret: “This nosy woman (Carina Lau) doesn’t know this secret yet. A long time ago we had a mahjong player called “Ge Ge”. Carina thought Leslie Cheung was referred to as “Ge Ge”. One time, Carina asked me if “Ge Ge” was going to work. I thought it was strange because the real “Ge Ge” had a 9 to 5 work schedule. It turns out Carina started to refer to Leslie as “Ge Ge”. Our group of mahjong friends couldn’t help but laugh out loud but we didn’t want to hurt Carina’s feelings. So we kept this secret until now. We didn’t tell her. The joke became too big.” According to So-Sze, the real “Ge Ge” is actually Daffy Tong aka Tong Tong.
Comment: “Ge Ge” is such a famous nickname like “Fei Fei”. Couldn’t believe that Leslie’s nickname started from a misunderstanding.[by Serena @ AGB]
