I have always enjoyed listening to the songs of the Four Heavenly Kings and watching their movies. Personally, I think among the Four Heavenly Kings, Jacky Cheung's singing is the most melodious and touching. His emotional intensity can be described as the sorrow of a hundred worries. Even now, his song "Li Xianglan" still stirs my heart. Compared to Andy Lau, his voice is even more touching. In terms of fame during their era, it's something that today's Jay Chou and others cannot compare to.

Jacky Cheung graduated from Hong Kong's Chongwen College and worked at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Cathay Pacific Airways until 1984 when he stood out with the song "Great Earth Affection" among over 20,000 contestants and won the first championship of the Eighteen District Amateur Singing Competition.
Subsequently, he signed with PolyGram Records and released his first album "Smile," which sold highly in Hong Kong with 300,000 copies, making him one of the outstanding new talents in the Hong Kong music scene at the time. Jacky Cheung was considered the successor to the "upright singer" Guan Zhengjie. Throughout his career, he was also frequently chosen to sing theme songs for public welfare causes and government institutions. In 1986, his second album "Distant Her AMOUR" continued to sell well, reaching 400,000 copies, with the song "Half Moon" becoming one of the classic Cantonese pop songs. Another classic Cantonese pop song "Sun Stars" was also released around the same time. Just two years after entering the industry, Jacky Cheung held his first concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum (commonly referred to as "Red Pavilion"), followed by six consecutive concerts (from August 1 to August 6, 1987) at the Red Pavilion, all of which were successful.
