He was the national singing champion in Hong Kong 1984 with the song Fatherland, ousting more than ten thousand other contestants. He was signed by the then Polygram Records, now Universal Music Group. Although encouraged by a bright start, he was not yet able to achieve immediate supremacy in Cantopop, then dominated by 譚詠麟, 梅艷芳, Leslie Cheung and 陳百強. Cheung suffered a nosedive in his career in 1988 after a best-selling first two albums. That year he did not have a single song awarded in the annual TVB JSG. His subsequent sales record dipped and one of his albums in the late 1980s managed just around ten thousand in sales. The reason for the fall in his CD sales was partially attributed to his alcohol problem - he could get drunk 5 times a week. After disrupting his friend's birthday party while being drunk, Cheung vowed in public that he would not consume alcohol again till he was 40. He kept that promise.
His recording career subsequently returned to its track. Then, in 1991, with the song 每天愛你多一些 (Loving You More Everyday), his career took a massive upturn. The album, 真情流露True Love Expression in 1992, as well as the succeeding release, 愛火花Love Sparks in 1992, became the two most successful albums in Hong Kong history, achieving audited sales of over 400,000 copies in Hong Kong alone and turned Cheung into a superstar, paving the way for himself and his contemporaries, Andy Lau, Leon Lai and Aaron Kwok, to take Cantopop to even greater heights. Subsequent albums continue to be a hit like 我與你True Love Expression 1993, 餓狼傳說 Wolf Tale 1994 etc. Since then his career has grown from strength to strength, and Cheung has managed to garner thousands of fans overseas as well as numerous music awards both in Hong Kong and elsewhere, including the best-selling Chinese singer in the Worlds Music Awards. Cheung has also been elected one of the world's Ten Outstanding Young Persons.
Among his most famous songs are Amour, 只想一生跟你走 (Only Thinking of Going Through Life With You) and the everlasting 吻别 (Goodbye Kiss) which confirms his status as one, and many consider the pre-eminent member, of the Four Heavenly Kings of Cantopop. Goodbye Kiss, a Mandarin number, was also one of the best-selling albums of all time, achieving more sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia such as not attained before, with an astounding 5 million copies sold in 1993 alone, a record that has remained yet unbroken. Goodbye Kiss was also instrumental in helping Cheung to break into the mando-pop market, and it also prompted other Hong Kong singers who wanted to gain a wider market to follow suit, even though, to this very day, very few indeed have been able to approach Cheung's level of success.
His work on the ground-breaking cantonese musical, Snow, Wolf, Lake musical (1997), was also enthusiastically received by both audiences and critics. Cheung not only played the male lead, but was also the artistic director for this production. The female lead was played by Sandy Lam and they achieved 43 full-house performances at the gigantic Hong Kong Coliseum. In November 2004, Jacky and his concert manager, Florence Chan Suk-Fan, worked on a revised Mandarin version of Snow, Wolf, Lake so as to bring it to a wider audience. The estimated budget for this revised production was HK$100 million and the show premiered on 24 December 2004 in Beijing. The production subsequently toured China and other Asian destinations to huge acclaim.
Cheung won, for the umpteenth time, the Best Selling Cantonese Album Award in the Hong Kong IFPI Awards of 2005 with his live album, Jacky Live Performance. In the fast-changing scene of canto-pop, Cheung is able to maintain his popularity and sales power for more than 20 years after his debut, which is unparalleled in the history of Hong Kong pop music.
Cheung acted in many films, although singing has always been his priority. His versatility and acting skills have enabled him to play a lot of diverse parts. He received the Best Supporting Actor Golden Horse Award for his work in Swordsman (1990). He also received the Best Actor Award at the New Dehli Film Festival for his portrayal of the protagonist in July Rhapsody. His song Perhaps Love, which serves as the theme song for the multi-award-winning film Perhaps Love, also won the Best Song Award at the 2005 Hong Kong Film Awards.
He is married to May Lo with two daughters.
Cheung was named spokesperson for Hong Kong Disneyland in 2004. As the theme park's spokesperson, Cheung took part in a number of large-scale marketing events organized by The Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, beginning by hosting a TV program, Magical World of Disneyland. [1] He also recorded a song for Hong Kong Disneyland, a multi-lingual song entitled One. The music video for One was filmed at Hong Kong Disneyland.

是天意吧 好多話說不出去 就是怕妳負擔不起
妳相信嗎 這一生遇見妳 是上輩子我欠妳的
是天意吧 讓我愛上妳 才又讓妳離我而去
也許輪迴裏 早已註定 今生就該我還給妳
一顆心在風雨裏飄來飄去都是為妳
一路上有妳 苦一點也願意
一路上有妳 痛一點也願意
就算這輩子註定要和妳分離
妳知道嗎 愛妳並不容易 還需要很多勇氣
是天意吧 好多話說不出去 就是怕妳負擔不起
妳相信嗎 這一生遇見妳 是上輩子我欠妳的
是天意吧 讓我愛上妳 才又讓妳離我而去
也許輪迴裏 早已註定 今生就該我還給妳
一顆心在風雨裏飄來飄去都是為妳
一路上有妳 苦一點也願意
就算是為了分離與我相遇

一路上有妳 痛一點也願意
就算只能在夢裡擁抱妳
The lyrics of 張學友's song 一路上有你 express the enduring love that the singer has for his partner, despite the difficult circumstances they endure. The opening lines state that loving the partner is not an easy task and it takes a lot of courage, indicating that there have been obstacles that they have had to overcome in their relationship. The singer suggests that some of the things that he wants to say to the partner are unsaid, because of the concern about the partner's ability to carry the burden. He indicates his belief that they were fated to be together, saying that he owed her from their past life. The chorus repeats the title, stating that he would willingly endure hardship or pain just to be with her.
The repeated lines, "一路上有妳 苦一點也願意，就算是為了分離與我相遇，一路上有妳 痛一點也願意，就算這輩子註定要和妳分離" convey a deep sense of commitment and loyalty in the relationship. The singer recognizes that their time together may be limited, but he is willing to suffer the pain of separation if it means that he can be with her again in the future. The love that they share is powerful and endures despite the hardships they face.
Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of the complex emotional landscape of love and the commitment that it requires. The singer recognizes that love is not always easy, but it is worth it to have someone to journey through life with.
