She started her life as a professional singer when she was 16 in 1983. She recorded her first album "The feeling of stories" (故事的感覺) in 1984. It was the album 娴情 and the song "Silly Girl" (傻女, a Cantonese rework version of the Spanish song " La Loca ")which first confirmed her as a strong contender in the golden age of Cantopop. However, it was her everlasting hit Thousands of Songs (千千阙歌) that placed her up there among the likes of Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and Andy Lau.

She chose to retire in 1989 in order to pursue her masters degree in the Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York but has since returned to the music industry by 1997. However, her fame has almost all but eluded her as is the current crop of singers who established themselves 15 years ago, only to find life difficult to contend with the new generation of Cantopop stars.

Her personal life was also closely scrutinised by the Hong Kong press who even went to great lengths to search the garbage that her family takes out every day as she was still unmarried even though she is attached to a boyfriend. She recently held a concert in Hong Kong in 2003 and was also a guest at Samuel Hui's concert marking his return to the Cantopop music industry in 20042004 is a leap year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 2004 calendar), and has also been designated the: International Year of Rice International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition Elections are to be held in 73 co.
