“我就是我，是顏色不一樣的煙火。我喜歡我，讓薔薇開出一種結(jié)果，孤獨的沙漠里，一樣盛放的赤裸裸。”哥哥在他音樂作品中其中一首歌這樣唱道。他因在電影和音樂上實現(xiàn)的巨大成功，被認為是“粵語流行音樂的創(chuàng)始人之一”。

 

Starting his career as a singer in 1977, Cheung rose to fame six years later thanks to the songThe Wind Blows On. He has released many popular albums and received numerous musicawards, including being honored as Asia's Biggest Superstar at the 2000 CCTV-MTV MusicHonors.
