After her film debut, her output became so prolific that at one point, she was working on nine films simultaneously, leading her to have the nickname "Nine films Cheng". During this very prolific time in her career, she became the highest-paid actress in the region, beating out Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui and Michelle Yeoh, who rounded up the top 5.
She began hosting programmes for TVB in 1997, and she returned to acting with a critically acclaimed performance in the TVB sitcom "War of Genders". It immediately became the highest-rated show for the network TVB and garnered Cheng a Best Actress trophy at the annual awards. In addition, she is the highest-paid female employee of TVB.
Cheng still keeps "no marriage and no kids".
In her childhood, her parents frequently quarrelled and even fought. They divorced eventually. Her father ran away and left them nothing, and her mother brought up her and her younger brother. Life was often very tough. So she is terrified of marriage, and she never wants to have kids at all.
So far, she has had two profound love stories. From 1980 to 1990, she was the girlfriend of Kam Kwok Leung. From 1992 to 2008, she was together with David Lui Fong. Now, they remain friends. Edit Biography
