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.

别再伤害冤枉无辜的人！你的爱根本不是爱就承认吧！我的爱却是世界上最珍贵美好的是被人存心破坏一切可却是推给我太可恶！一个真心对我的人绝不带别人进来破坏爱然后狠心伤透我的心说一大堆不该说的话伤人自尊损人尊严！这是没修养的人！我有时只是还击他，可我没对他做像他一直对我做的事。他的爱根本不是爱而是玩火！爱不会岐视人！如果我懂爱人没钱，我不会嫌还说真的，有钱，我是第一个帮他！看不起还一直用钱压感情，这样爱人叫他滚开吧！一个好爱人绝对不会口口声声要爱人什麽也靠自己的这种爱人算什么爱事事要爱人靠自己，弄疼弄伤了也不关他的事，这算什麽爱呢？真爱会是很心疼他重伤我还会让我哭不像他骂我哭还批一大堆！如此对我是真爱吗？一直觉得我穷是爱吗好心啦这样爱人叫他滚蛋吧！如果我爱人不是偷懒不工作，可他很坏呢冤枉我好吃懒做天，这样伤我自尊还伤真重什麽别在意在说什么话别在意？人有自尊。你不要我要！你才好吃懒做承认！在爱的世界你很多事没做只想吃而已自打嘴巴吧你！你说我好吃懒做不过份！别在意你的死人头！你有帮我看顾孩子给我去工作吗？哼！如果我爱人不是偷懒没钱，我有一定给他钱才是爱！你呢什麽态度呢对爱人还敢怪人岂有此理！看不起人没钱可我也一而再再而三说不是穷人还一直作对！这什么爱人给余晚晴也不要啦烂到这样！我就不会看不起也不嫌弃！如果会当初还爱做什么？你以为你很高贵好心！这几年你的所作所为我全看在眼里，你什麽样的人逃不过我眼睛！心照吧！我却是很好，你眼瞎跟过份吧了！我说了断绝关系就别再说爱因为你的爱根本不是爱！是伤害多点！
