Career

Singer

Audio samples of Jacky Cheung

Jacky Cheung's career started when he made it as the national singing champion in Hong Kong 1984 with the song Fatherland. He ousted more than ten thousand other contestants. He was signed by the then Polygram Records, now Universal Music Group. He was previously working at the airliner Cathay Pacific. Although encouraged by a bright start, he was not able to achieve immediate supremacy in Cantopop, then dominated by Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Anita Mui and Danny Chan. Cheung suffered a nosedive in his career in 1988 after his two, first, best-selling, albums. He did not have a single song awarded in the annual TVB JSG that year. His subsequent sales record dropped, in which one of his releases in the late 1980s only managed to sell around ten thousand albums. The fall in CD sales was partially attributed to his alcoholic problem. It was at such a point where he could regularly get drunk 5 times a week. After disrupting his friend's birthday party while drunk, Cheung vowed he would not consume anymore alcohol until he was 40, in which he kept his promise.

His recording career got back on track in 1991 when his career took a massive upturn with his song 每天愛你多一些 (Loving You More Everyday), a translated version of the japanese Southern All Stars hit, Manatsu no Kajitsu. The album, 真情流露 True Love Expression in 1992, as well as the subsequent release, 愛火花 (Love Sparks) in 1992, became the two most successful CD albums in Hong Kong history, achieving audited sales of over 400,000 copies in Hong Kong alone. Cheung became an instant superstar, paving the way for himself and his contemporaries, Andy Lau, Leon Lai and Aaron Kwok, to take Cantopop to even greater heights. His subsequent albums such as 我與你 Me and You 1993, 餓狼傳說 Wolf Tale 1994 etc. were also big hits. Since then, his career only grew stronger. Cheung managed to garner thousands of fans in Hong Kong and overseas. He received numerous music awards both in Hong Kong and elsewhere, including the best-selling Chinese singer in the World Music Awards for two consecutive years (1995 and 1996).

Amongst his hit songs, some of his most famous were Amour, 祗想一生跟你走 (Only Thinking of Going Through Life With You) and, the everlasting 吻别 (Goodbye Kiss). Due to these great songs, he is considered one of the (also considered by many as the pre-eminent member) Four Heavenly Kings of Cantopop. Goodbye Kiss, a Mandarin number, was one of the best-selling albums of all time, achieving more sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia than ever attained before, with an astounding 5 million copies sold in 1993 alone. This record has yet to be broken. Goodbye Kiss was also instrumental in helping Cheung break into the mando-pop market. This album helped make him the first Asian artist to get on PolyGram's annual Top 10 roster. Cheung's success prompted other Hong Kong singers, whom wanted to access a wider market, to follow suit. To this day though, very few have actually been able to obtain a level of success equal to that achieved by Cheung.

Foreign domestic helper incident

In November 2006 Jacky Cheung reported to the police acts of theft committed by one of his foreign domestic helpers, Preslyn-saga Catacutan, accusing her of stealing three photographs and a letter belonging to him as well as pursuing suspicious activities in Cheung's home, including attempts to unlock his secret telephone code. Foreign domestic helpers meeting on their typical Sunday day of rest at Statue Square in Central. ...


According to local Chinese newspapers reports, friends and co-works have complained to Cheung many times about the maid's habit of stealing other's personal effects, despite the fact that she has only worked there for a few months. Cheung cautiously felt he was better off terminating the maid's employment contract with compensation in respect of Hong Kong employment law.[3]


On the day of the dismissal, Catacutan Preslyn-saga routinely let her employer check the content of her purse and bags. Cheung was shocked to find one of his personal letters, with his name and address in the bag. Fearing the maid might have stolen even more items, Cheung promptly called the police. The Police escorted both Cheung and the maid to the police station, and subsequently found 3 photos of Cheung in the other bags belonging to the maid.


Cheung claimed he did not want to alert the police, as he felt the process of going to law court is troublesome. However, out of concern for the safety of his daughter with the potential of his address being leaked to unknown persons, he had no choice but to call the police.[4]


Hearing Magistrate, Winston Leung, described Cheung as "courageous" for bringing the matter before the courts and consenting to appear as prosecution witness after the police had laid charges against her. Ms Catacutan was subsequently found guilty of theft, aggravated by a serious breach of faith, and was sentenced to six months in jail. An appeal against the conviction is pending.


Foreign maid organizers in Hong Kong felt that Cheung need not have alerted the police to the matter. The sentence imposed on the domestic helper was also seen by some as being disproportionate to the crime and an example of racism exhibited towards minorities in Hong Kong.[5] Yet, such sentiments were expressed only by some maids groups as well as a few letters written to one English language newspaper in Hong Kong. Most of the local Chinese media are supportive of Cheung's action.


However, Cheung has been banned from hiring any more Filipino maids as he and his wife, May Lo, were placed on a "blacklist of sub-standard employers" maintained by the Philippine consulate in Hong Kong after "changing" 21 maids in three years, but the actual number of dismissed maids was not publicly announced. The blacklisting, which was, itself, a controversial action on the part of the consulate, comes after a former Filipino helper working under Cheung, Preslyn-saga Catacutan, was jailed last year for stealing photographs and a letter from the star.[6]
