Born Zheng Lieqiong (鄭烈瓊), Cheng was given the Japanese name "Yumiko" by her friends in secondary school.[1] After Cheng signed on with EEG, the name was retained.

Yumiko was originally a member of the group 3T (along with Mandy and Maggie Lau), which released an EP in September of 2002. Yumiko's potential was, however, soon identified by the company and in November 2002, her first solo EP Yumiko The Debut EP was released, followed by DanceDanceDance (舞舞舞) in June of 2003. Her first full-length album One2Three was released in November 2003.

Apart from that, Yumiko has also taken part in various TV shows and a dozen of TV commercials as well as gracing the covers of various magazines on hundreds of occasions.

In 2004, she released her second full-length album, Perfect Date, but her number of appearances has decreased slightly due to health problems as well as strategy re-evaluation within her company. She returned precipitately in June of 2005 with the song "Arabian Market" (亞拉伯市場). Her fourth full-length studio album, Passion was released in April of 2006, which sees a continuation of the Middle Eastern theme in the single "Lupine Girl" (狼女).

Yumiko has also starred in several films, including a special guest appearance in Stanley Kwan's 2005 feature, Everlasting Regret.

喂侬寻啥人呀
我阿勿晓得
听得勿清楚
哽么侬等一息
被人家抛弃我勿吓
我加好是侬损失
我有信心再去拣
跟侬侬侬去白相

大家出去买物事
到公园拍照片
开开心心
阿拉嘻嘻哈哈
一道拍拍手
不怕孤单
爱情有选择
真的想我吗
是真是假
讨厌你每天太啰嗦
我不要你管我
放弃你算什么
One two three four我爱我
七情六欲喜怒哀乐
我现在很快乐
摇摇摇 up and down
每天都会 up and down

侬侬侬勿要再寻我
我要刺激
勿要憨大帮侬一道
浪费晨光
格趟我勿会再心软
谢谢侬快滚开
好男人多的是
我一定会嘻嘻哈哈过得比侬好
不怕孤单
爱情有选择
真的想我吗

讨厌你每天太啰嗦
我不要你管我
放弃你算什么
One two three four我爱我
七情六欲喜怒哀乐
我现在很快乐
摇摇摇 up and down
起起落落 up and down

头发剪脱放5天假
晒晒太阳有人爱我心情可以好up
唱片勿卖工作勿多
被老板骂没人欢喜心情可以好down
不怕孤单

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 鄭希怡's "上海娃娃" tell the story of a girl who is confident and self-assured. She rejects the advances of a man who is not good enough for her, and instead chooses to live her life on her own terms. The opening lines of the song, "喂侬寻啥人呀我阿勿晓得听得勿清楚哽么侬等一息被人家抛弃我勿吓" suggest that the girl is being pursued by someone, but she is not interested. She sees herself as a prize and the man as the loser for not being able to win her over.

Throughout the song, the girl asserts her independence and her right to make her own choices. She knows that there are plenty of good men out there, and she is not afraid of being alone. She sings, "不怕孤单爱情有选择" which means "I'm not afraid of being alone, love is a choice." She values her own happiness over the opinions of others and doesn't want anyone to boss her around.

In summary, the song "上海娃娃" is an anthem for confident women who refuse to settle for less than they deserve. It celebrates self-love and empowerment, and promotes the idea that being alone is better than being with someone who doesn't respect or value you.
