The body text of the Chinese Wikipedia records that the same year Teresa Cheung Tak-lan changed the name to Teresa Cheung Tak-lan, because Teresa Cheung Tak-lan did not want the audience to feel the child-star image was still there, and because the original name felt childish; the lead of the same article writes that this stage name, which is also a baptismal name, was formally used from 1977.
