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.

張學友 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
一杯酒 情緒萬種
離別多 葉落的季節離別多
握住妳的手 放在心頭
我要妳記得 無言的承諾
啊 不怕相思苦 只怕妳傷痛
怨只怨人在風中 聚散都不由我
無處說離愁
舞秋風 漫天回憶舞秋風
嘆一聲 黯然沉默
不能說 惹淚的話都不能說
緊緊擁著妳 永遠記得
妳曾經為我 這樣的哭過.
啊 不怕相思苦 只怕妳傷痛
怨只怨人在風中 聚散都不由我
啊 不怕我孤獨 只怕妳寂寞
無處說離愁
啊 不怕相思苦 只怕妳傷痛
怨只怨人在風中 聚散都不由我
啊 不怕我孤獨 只怕妳寂寞
無處說離愁
The song "Qiu Yi Nong" by 張學友, translated to "Autumn Feelings" in English, is a touching ballad that speaks about the emotions and pain that come with separation. The opening line "秋意濃 離人心上秋意濃" sets the mood, as autumn is traditionally associated with melancholy. The singer talks about his various emotions after parting ways with a loved one, as he tries to cope with the feelings of loneliness and heartache. The lyrics "一杯酒 情緒萬種" depict how he uses alcohol to deal with his emotions, and how he feels so many different things at once.
The chorus of the song is particularly emotive, as the singer talks about how he is not afraid of loneliness but is scared of his loved one being lonely without him. His words "啊 不怕相思苦 只怕妳傷痛" illustrate how he can handle the pain of longing, but he is worried about his loved one's well-being. The phrase "無處說離愁" shows how there is no one to share the feeling of separation. He also reminisces about the past, where the memories of happier times dance around him like the autumn wind, but the thought of not being able to express his feelings or sorrow plagues him, "不能說 惹淚的話都不能說."
Overall, "Qiu Yi Nong" is a poignant expression of the sadness that accompanies separation, as the singer longs for emotional connection, and for his loved one to remember the unspoken promises they made to each other. The song is an emotional impact and can bring a tear to the eye of anyone who has felt the pain of loss.

個人覺得玉置浩二和張學友都唱的很好，只是歌詞改編意境的不同讓2人演譯出不一樣的感覺，卻總是被大家比較其實是不太公平的。
玉先生的唱直觀的會感到淒楚和挽留也真的聽到讓人雞皮疙瘩，學友的則是唱出走在秋天裡回憶的蕭澀畫面。分開來看2人的詮釋都太強大了❤
