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.
明日世界終結時
張學友 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
无情亦无爱也许更有利成就
流行现代的爱应该可放也可收
但爱上你后
何以我却 想痴恋一生永久
盟誓跟痴情人渐已说是陈旧
缘来又缘去试多了再没难受
但爱上你后
何以我却 始终找不到借口
在无尽变化转折时候
只得你始终捉紧我手
在名利对错真假当中争斗
唯独你会给我分忧
在明日世界终结时候
都不悔今生曾经跟你走
在成败进退反覆当中争斗
唯独有 你的爱 如动力 在背后
无尽的深情时间都不可抹走
旁人话顽固我只有笑着承受
流行现代的爱即使可买也可偷
但爱上你后
谁叫我再 已经不想找借口
谁叫我再 已经不想找借口
在无尽变化转折时候
只得你始终捉紧我手
在名利对错真假当中争斗
唯独你会给我分忧
在明日世界终结时候
都不悔今生曾经跟你走
在成败进退反覆当中争斗
唯独有 你的爱 如动力 在背后
The first stanza of the song "明日世界終結時" talks about how people are at their most vulnerable when they are in love. The singer questions whether being heartless is more advantageous than being loving in accomplishing something. He then contrasts the perception of love in modern times where it is expected to be freely given and taken, yet he finds himself still wanting to be completely devoted to the person he loves. The second stanza talks about making vows and the endless cycle of trying and failing, and how the singer can't seem to find any reason to justify his love for the person he cares about. He shares how amidst the twists and turns in life, it is his loved one who is a constant by his side, giving him the strength to tackle life's challenges. In the last stanza, the lyricist highlights how time cannot erase true love and how he is willing to endure the opinions of outsiders, as long as he has his loved one with him. Ultimately, it is love that gives him the motivation to keep going, even in the face of adversity.

人在相戀時 原是最脆弱時候
無情亦無愛 也許更有利成就
流行現代的愛 應該可放也可收
但愛上你後 何以我卻想癡戀一生永久
盟誓跟癡情 人漸已說是陳舊
緣來又緣去 試多了再沒難受
流行現代的愛 應該可買也可偷
但愛上你後 何以我卻始終找不到藉口
在無盡變化轉折時候 只得你始終 捉緊我手
在名利對錯真假當中爭鬥 惟獨你會給我分憂
在明日世界終結時候 都不悔今生 曾經跟你走
在成敗進退反覆當中爭鬥 惟獨有你的愛 如動力在背後
無盡的深情 時間都不可抹走
旁人話頑固 我只有笑著承受
流行現代的愛 即使可買也可偷
但愛上你後 誰叫我再已經不想找藉口

歌词：
人在平常时 原本是安然无恙
健康也快乐 灾祸烦恼都没有
但子鼠年流行 传播出新冠肺炎
未知下一刻 明天的壮况 究竟会怎么样
寂寞的男子 人渐变得好消瘦
躲来又藏去 始终依旧行不通
可是鼠年流行 分别感染上冠病
过去的昨天 确诊的病例 究竟该怎收场
在细菌变化转移时候
医生护士皆 束手无策
在真假梦境幻影之中战斗
惟独你会与我合作
在邪君称霸世界时候
亦不怨苍天 存心地捉弄
在反复并肩作战风中互斗
莫遗忘我们俩 到底曾相识过
还求你原谅 今天这么一个我
父母说顽固 去哪里都行不通
流行国际疫情 便可睡觉可偷懒
几多工人因 生意衰败遭炒鱿鱼而失业
在细菌变化转移时候
医生护士皆 束手无策
在真假梦境幻影当中战斗
惟独你会与我合作
在邪君称霸世界时候
亦不怨苍天 故意地捉弄
在反复并肩作战风中互斗
莫遗忘我们俩 到底曾相识过

When I was younger,about 10 years ago, I had a playlist of 13 cantonese songs. I vaguely remember this as number 10, and it still makes me cry when I hear it
