Li Xianglan / 6 minutes 36 seconds
"Li Xianglan" is adapted from Japanese singer Koji Tamaki's "行かないで" and is included inJacky Cheungthe 1990 album "In Your Dreams".The melancholy melody, the plaintive lyrics, and Jacky's impeccable heavenly voice give this song eternal artistic charm. In fact, there is another classic version of this song, yes, it was sung by the great Stephen Chow. The re-lyricized version "Autumn's Intensity" is also loved by many, carrying a similar sense of sorrow. With the recent rains and floods in the south, listening to this song seems to add a touch of poignancy. The south is struggling; may the heavens protect it.
Half Moon / 3 minutes 43 seconds
When mentioning "Half Moon," those born in the 80s might think of Chen Kun's version, but for those from the 60s and 70s, Jacky Cheung's "Half Moon" is the eternal classic. Even in the 80s, a golden era for Cantonese songs, this was a timeless masterpiece. It's worth noting that both "Half Moon" and "Li Xianglan" were composed by Jacky's favorite Japanese musician, Koji Tamaki. The classic status of these songs is unsurpassable.
In the Wind and Rain of Longing / 4 minutes 18 seconds

Another work by Keisuke Kuwata, with such moving melody. The song begins by stating the reason for "true feelings revealed," and Jacky's singing at the end is deeply emotional.
Only Want to Walk with You for Life / 5 minutes 11 seconds
It's truly touching how excellent Cantonese songs were in that era, with moving melodies and beautiful lyrics. Even today, I still occasionally sing, "But I hope you haven't forgotten the old love, I am willing to silently shed tears, really want to walk with you for life." It has the same sorrowful feeling as Liu Yong's "The cicadas are mournful, facing the pavilion at dusk, the sudden rain has just stopped."

Many Jacky Cheung fans love this song. Strictly speaking, I'm not a fan of Jacky Cheung, but I still love this song. It's a very flavorful song.

The prelude evokes a nostalgic feeling; then Jacky's voice, which has reached a state of perfection, starts, and time seems to stop for a moment. Jacky's singing becomes everything. One has to admit that Jacky gets better with age, and his singing of nostalgic love songs always easily moves people. "Lingering Old Love" is a representative work of "You" love songs.
Love is Eternal / 3 minutes 30 seconds
Every time I appreciate this work, my heart is filled with infinite emotion and touch. The kind of love that transcends everything in the song, can it be encountered? The lyrics "With me, there is you, for thousands and thousands of centuries, never abandoning, love is eternal when the loved one is you" make everyone who is full of expectations, whether male or female, feel warm and reluctant to let go. I believe true love really exists in the world. I hope all friends who truly love love songs can find true love, lasting forever.
Breaking Up Always Happens on Rainy Days / 4 minutes 50 seconds
Even with an ordinary melody, Jacky's performance can turn decay into magic, let alone this song with such a beautiful melody.

Each listen brings a different feeling, making it very popular among listeners. The melody is poignant, and Jacky Cheung's performance is particularly moving, vividly portraying the difficult-to-let-go emotions.
