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.

The lyrics of 張學友's song "Wen Bie" express longing and separation between two individuals. The first verse starts with a reference to a past love ("Qian chen wang shi zai yun yan"), followed by regrets of not being able to see the person anymore ("Xiao sa zai bi ci yan qian"). The second verse speaks of the pain of looking for the person in vain ("Zong zai sha na jian"), and realizing the past cannot be relived ("Shuo guo di hua bu ke neng hui shi xian"). The chorus, "Wo he ni wen bie" (which translates to "when we parted ways"), emphasizes this feeling of separation and the struggle to move on. Despite this pain, the singer recognizes the value of their time together and reminisces fondly ("Gei wo de yi qie").
The emotions conveyed in the lyrics are underscored by the simple but powerful melody and the emotive vocal delivery. The song is a classic of Canto-pop, and its popularity throughout the years attests to the universality of its theme.

前塵往事成雲煙．消散在彼此眼前
就連說過了再見．也看不見你有些哀怨
給我的一切．你不過是在敷衍
你笑的越無邪我就會愛你愛得更狂野
總在剎那間有一些瞭解
說過的話不可能會實現
就在一轉眼發現你的臉
已經陌生不會再像從前
我的世界開始下雪
冷得讓我無法多愛一天
冷得連隱藏的遺憾．都那麼地明顯
我和你吻別在無人的街
讓風痴笑我不能拒絕
我和你吻別在狂亂的夜
我的心．等著迎接傷悲 ．．．．．
想要給你的思念．就像風箏斷了線
飛不進你的世界．也溫暖不了你的視線
我已經看見．一齣悲劇正上演
劇終沒有喜悅我仍然躲在你的夢裡面
總在剎那間有一些瞭解
說過的話不可能會實現
就在一轉眼發現你的臉
已經陌生不會再像從前
我的世界開始下雪
冷得讓我無法多愛一天
冷得連隱藏的遺憾．都那麼地明顯
我和你吻別在無人的街
讓風痴笑我不能拒絕
我和你吻別在狂亂的夜
我的心．等著迎接傷悲
我和你吻別在無人的街
讓風痴笑我不能拒絕
我和你吻別在狂亂的夜
我的心．等著迎接傷悲

張學友真的太厲害，將這首歌原本我覺得不太好聽付予生命了，首歌即時變得很動聽好有故事畫面，好有層次感，歌神不愧是歌神

很喜歡張學友中期的這些歌曲，旋律動人。
@user-gi6ix8cp6c
從视频中摘歌來听，尤其老歌，正常情况下听完最后一句歌词頂多5秒钟就習惯性点下一首歌來听。但这首不会，总把尾曲听完猶有未盡之感。
