About the artist
Jacky Cheung is a Hong Kong male singer and actor, born July 10, 1961; CNA recorded birth in Hong Kong and growing up in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Avenue of Stars materials record the occupation as actor and singing star, and list Jacky Cheung among the "四大天王" of the Hong Kong music scene.
In 1983 entered "歡樂今宵「盡顯才華SING聲星」", and in 1984 won the championship of Hong Kong's first 18-district amateur singing contest; 張文新 said that year each district had at least a thousand-plus applicants, more than twenty thousand in total. The same year signed with PolyGram, and in April 1985 released a first solo Cantonese album.
In January 1986 POLYDRAM issued the Cantonese album "相愛". The same year appeared in the first film "霹雳大喇叭", and also in "痴心的我". In 1988 appeared in the film "旺角卡门", and in 1989 with that film received Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards; in 1990 again with "笑傲江湖" received Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Horse Awards.
Jacky Cheung has said that after the fourth record a lost period began, that the company pushed only one or two of ten songs, and sales fell from more than two hundred thousand of the first record to 25,000 of "昨夜夢魂中".
In December 1991 PolyGram issued the Cantonese album "愛你多一些". In March 1993 released the Mandarin album "吻別", issued by PolyGram, including "吻別", "情網" and "一路上有你"; in November of the same year issued the Cantonese album "等你等到我心痛", and in December the Mandarin album "祝福".

Jacky Cheung has said that when the career stalled, drinking could not be controlled, and it was overcome with support from friends and then-girlfriend 羅美薇; also said the resolve to quit drinking came because drinking affected work.
