Actor Nick Cheung, after a 20-year hiatus, has returned to his role as a singer, releasing a new movie song 'Eternal Insomnia' on the 28th of this month. Earlier, when he attended a radio event, he had already hinted at reviving his singing dream, and wittily said at the time: "Actually, I have no ambition to be a singer, but this time the movie 'Dream Redemption' needed an ending song and the budget wasn't very sufficient, so the producer asked me to give it a go myself."
Although Nick Cheung's release of a new song seems like an unexpected move, netizens show great support. One user posted in a forum: "Isn't it big news that Nick Cheung is releasing a new song and no one is talking about it?" Many netizens express their determination to push him onto the stage to receive an award and praise his singing skills: "I remember he's not bad at singing," "After all, he is the winner of the 'RTHK Newcomer Gold Award,'" and some even voted for "My Favorite Nick Cheung Songs," mentioning that he has many good songs including 'I'd Rather Give Myself the Saddest,' 'Love Without Too Many Reasons,' and the movie 'Keeper of Darkness' theme song, the soulful version of 'You Are My Beloved Girl,' among others.
