Before entering the entertainment business, she was a registered nurse at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong. She studied at the Kowloon Holy Family Canossian College. She entered the entertainment industry after coming in third in the TVB 14th annual New Talent Singing Awards competition in 1995, and has steadily gained popularity ever since.
Miriam is now managed by East Asia, after previously being contracted with Capitol Artists, Cinepoly Records, Gold Label and Amusic.
As a singer, Miriam has had many songs that have been mainstream hits and award winners, such as "Pity I'm an Aquarius", "Maiden's prayer", "Sisters" and "Small City and Big Issue". "Small City and Big Issue" and "Maiden's Prayer" have won "Best Song of The Year Award" in 2004 and 2000. She has also won "Most popular female singer", "My favourite female singer", and "Female Singer Golden award", which further attest to her huge popularity.
Early in her career her songs had the view point of a young lady. However, in the last few years, Miriam describes her songs as having matured very much.

但卻令我看破愛這個字
自你患上失憶 便是我扭轉命數的事
只因當失憶症發作加深
沒記住我但卻另有更新蜜運
像狐狸精般 並未允許我步近
卻又記住移情別愛的命運
無回憶的男人 就當偷厄與瞞騙
抱抱我不過份
吻下來 豁出去 這吻別似覆水
再來也許要天上團聚
再回頭 你不許 如曾經不登對
你何以雙眼好像流淚
彼此追憶不怕愛要終止
但我大概上世做過太多壞事
能從頭開始 跪在教堂說願意
娛樂行的人影 還在繼續繁榮
我在算著甜言蜜語的壽命
人造的蠢衛星 沒探測出我們已
已再見不再認
吻下來 豁出去 這吻別似覆水
再來也許要天上團聚
我下來 你出去 講再會也心虛
我還記得到天上團聚
吻下來 豁出去 從前多麼登對
你何以雙眼好像流淚
每年這天記得再流淚
In the song "Xiao Cheng Da Shi" by 楊千嬅, the singer reflects on a past relationship that began with youthful passion but ultimately ended in disillusionment. She associates the beginning of her youth with falling in love, but her experiences since then have led her to see through the concept of love. The central theme of the song is the impact that the loss of memory of her former partner has on her. In the absence of memories, she is left with a sense of betrayal and loneliness.
The lyrics describe the pain of loving someone who has forgotten you and moved on to a new relationship. She compares the situation to that of a fox spirit, who lures men with its charm and beauty, but ultimately keeps them at bay. Despite the cruelty of this situation, the singer longs to hold onto her former lover and share a final kiss before they part ways forever. She wonders if they will ever be reunited, either in this life or the next.
Overall, the song expresses the complex emotions of heartbreak and the difficult process of moving on after a failed relationship. The singer is poetic in her descriptions of love and loss, using vivid imagery to convey the weight of her feelings.

我不知道為什麼今天一整天腦海一直loop這首歌
和楊長青無關
如果有都是集體潛意識在製造drama
我已經放下他了
不過可能意識上說原諒
潛意識無法容忍這段時間被渣男欺騙感情的經過
在最後這一天
用這首歌為這段沒開始過的感情劃上句號吧。
意識上我是真的不喜歡他了
但不等於我可以原諒這段期間被人玩弄的事
但你問我很恨他嗎?
那倒沒有
我還是想跟他保持朋友關係
畢竟這段期間還是有帶給我一些感動和對世界的領悟
某些願望成真也可能是因為他
就這一點他算是我的恩人
我不能恩將仇報
所以現在就是處於這種情緒膠著的狀態吧
罵他又不是
裝作沒事又很壓抑
寫完應該會好一些。

應該只有以上幾句比較有共鳴吧!開頭那些歌詞很多是無關的,大家不要過份詮釋。他有沒有喜歡過我都成問題,什麼移情別戀的與我無關(我要罵渣男就直接罵,我不會藏著掖著,不罵即是「這不是核心問題」)我只是知道Sounds right和其他所有情歌講的都是謊言,Sounds 10說的還比較靠譜一點;我只知道由2020年暑假等到2022年,說好的10月呢?說好的11月呢?說好的12月呢?我只知道在我快要被人掃地出門之時,他還去巡演、錄專輯、錄綜藝節目。
啊
原來我只配得到這種關係
謝謝了遊戲方
我真是最茁壯的韭菜
愈割愈長。
@user-dk8of9rn6t
然後我再說一次
我發洩完就算了
大家不要公審他
在感情上我是受了傷
但實際上是他輔助我這幾個月到「畢業」
不是他可能奠太后都不會消失
疫苗通行證也不會取消
無論他是直接還是間接導致了上述的事情
所以這個人我是必須要原諒他的
給我一點時間發洩一下就好。

天長地久走唔到
小城大事寃怨深
神鬼找位接更人
統統拉落互換碼
籌劃千年馬換禡
真牙假牙補駐衙
請您自當想清想
天長地久日時長
雲水只也是奴勞
神鬼也覺心煩累
佛陀亦在坐塵牢
輪內您住摩天輪
那樣您吃您自治
交嘢打交轉乾虔
先知原來我的事

有時我們會一遍又一遍地聽一首歌,並不一定是因為它太好聽了。 但因為在那裡,我們聽到了自己的故事😍👍谁认同?
