With much success in the Hong Kong music industry, Sammi became one of Hong Kong's pop divas. She also has a successful film career, particularly in the romantic comedy genre. Her goofy, sometimes scatterbrained image went over well with Chinese audiences. In 2000 she made a series of romantic comedies with singer/actor 劉德華 and director Johnnie To, including Needing You (2000) and Love on a Diet (2001), which were hits and incorporate some elements of screwball comedy.

鄭秀文 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
从前我觉得它的生命比我重
那份幼稚 那份笑容
也在时光失了踪
从头我再找一位好友更得宠
从前我觉得她的喜怒比我重
结伴上路 跌落时空
再重要始终都会告终
回头清风两袖
没法来笑着拥有 就要哭着放开手
如果难以忘记伤口
记得不要追究
学会从时间中找到了出口
时光不会白走
从头再去找真心所爱去相拥
情人却要走一声珍重比我重
抱着发梦 美梦成空
有日这双手总要放松
想 谁爱谁会不朽
谁人贪新厌旧
热爱谁那样深厚 亦有一日要分手
时光能够溶化伤口
记得总有星宿
没法长流细水跟最爱厮守
仍懂得笑得走
当 甜美无法不朽
回头清风两袖
没法来笑着拥有 就要哭着放开手
如果难以忘记伤口
记得不要追究
学会从时间中找到了出口
人生不会白走
The song "时间之光" by 鄭秀文 (Sammi Cheng) speaks about the passage of time and the inevitability of change that comes with it. The lyrics begin by reminiscing about childhood and the comfort found in simple things such as holding a beloved stuffed toy. The singer acknowledges the naivety and innocence of youth, but also recognizes that along with growing up comes the loss of that childlike wonder. As they search for new friends and connections in life, they come to understand that relationships may not last forever and that goodbyes must eventually be said. The lyrics offer a reminder that while the sweetness of life may not endure, we can still find solace and even beauty in the passage of time and the memories we carry with us.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on various themes such as the transience of love and the bittersweet acceptance of change. The chorus provides an anchor for the song, emphasizing the importance of embracing the present moment and letting go of the past. Ultimately, the song speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with the passing of time and the impermanence of all things.
