Dicky Cheung Wai-kin (Chinese: 張衛健; born 8 February 1965) is Hong Kong actor and singer.
Career[edit]
He entered show business in the early 1980s, signing a contract with television station TVB. He won the third annual New Talent Singing Awards in 1984. Up until the mid-90s, Dicky struggled for many years working as a low-paid actor, singer and appeared occasionally in films. It was not until his brilliant portrayal of the Monkey King character in the 1996 TVB drama Journey to the West, an adaptation of the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, that his popularity began to skyrocket. A sequel to the TV adaptation was planned, but due to a contract dispute with TVB, Cheung left before production began. Benny Chan Ho Man took over the role of the Monkey King in the sequel. Cheung then went abroad to Taiwan to continue his career.
He has appeared in many Taiwanese television productions since going to Taiwan. In 1999, TVB's rival station ATV acquired the Hong Kong broadcasting rights to his Taiwanese television series Young Hero Fong Sai Yuk. Cheung played Fong Sai Yuk, a character also portrayed by Jet Li in his film Fong Sai Yuk. The show was an instant hit in Hong Kong and managed to gain much higher ratings than TVB's own television series. The TVB series showing at that time was Dragon Love, starring Benny Chan Ho Man, who replaced Cheung in the Journey to the West sequel, Journey to the West II.
After a 20-year absence, Dicky Cheung (張衛健) finally made his long-awaited TVB comeback. Dicky starred in TVB’s 50th anniversary drama, The Learning Curve of a Warlord <大帥哥>, which was produced by Steven Tsui.
Early childhood[edit]
Born to a sadistic father[1], Dicky Chueng was educated in St Francis Xavier's College in Hong Kong. He became interested in acting when he was in elementary school, stemming from his interest in analyzing human behaviour. For example, he always loved being in crowded streets or buses, where he could observe people and hear conversations. In plays, he would work as director, actor, and scriptwriter.
In 1984, he won the TVB International Chinese New Talent Singing Championship. However, it was not a good start of his singing career. No record company wanted to sign a contract with him. So he changed his career path to acting. In 1985, he signed a contract with TVB. However, the following eight years he only acted in small parts until 1991 when he finally got the chance to be the main actor in the TVB drama called “Laoyou Guigui”('A Step Beyond'). Later, he gained the lead role in Journey to the West, where he gained many fans and supporters in Hong Kong.
Personal life[edit]
At the end of 1997, Dicky Cheung met his wife Jess Zhang (Zhang Qian), an actress in Mainland China. They were filming in the same location on separate productions. They formally met each other when Jess was humming the tune of '哎呀哎呀親親你' (Aiya, Aiya, Kissing You) and did not know who originally sang the song nor realize the original singer was in her presence. Their relationship then further developed when Dicky purchased a water bottle for Jess.
In 2007, Dicky Cheung married Jess in Beijing and had a separate wedding ceremony in Boracay in 2009.
Prior to his marriage with Jess, he was involved in brief relationships with the actresses Elvina Kong and Jessica Hsuan.[2]
He has said that he would like to eventually leave the acting business and seriously consider doing something more meaningful in life such as volunteering to give back to the society.
Notable roles[edit]
Cheung has starred in many Hong Kong-Taiwanese television productions, enjoying both success in Taiwan as well as Hong Kong. The most notable roles are:
Journey to the WestDicky's most notable performance that made him famous was his portrayal of the Monkey King in the 1996 TVB adaptation of the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. As well as being the lead character, Dicky also sang the theme song as well as many other songs throughout the series. This series was very popular during its run on TVB Jade, it was even dubbed in English and broadcast on TVB Pearl, the only TVB series to receive this treatment to date. Dicky was also due to play the Monkey King in the sequel. However, due to a dispute regarding the contract, the role was given to Benny Chan Ho Man.
Young Hero Fong Sai YukFong Si Yuk is perhaps one of the best Taiwanese series that has come out this year, aligning itself with another Taiwanese hit, 'Princess Pearl' ('Huang Zhi Ge Ge'). Managing to beat TVB brutally, 'Fong' has brought for ATV record high ratings and also for Dicky Cheung much renewed fame as he is back into the scope of the Hong Kong audience.
The Duke of Mount DeerYet another TV adaptation of Louis Cha's Wuxia novel The Deer and the Cauldron. Cheung played the anti-hero Wai Siu-Bo, a character previously portrayed by Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Stephen Chow and Jordan Chan in many television and film adaptations.
The Monkey King: Quest for the SutraIn 2001, Andy Lau's NMG production company produced another television adaptation of Journey to the West. Cheung was given a chance to once again portray the role that made him a household name. The series was broadcast in 2002 on TVB. Although it received high ratings, many felt it was not as good as the 1996 version.
Kung Fu SoccerCheung played Shun, a young talented soccer player originated from rural Guangdong whose also excels in kungfu yet suffers from short term memory loss. The series was broadcast by TVB from December 2004 to January 2005, with Cheung sang the opening theme of the series.

The West Virginia Northern Railroad was a short line railroad that ran from Kingwood to Tunnelton in Preston County, West Virginia. It operated from 1886 to 1991. From the beginning of its existence through February 19, 1991, the railroad had but one purpose — to bring loads of coal from the mines of Preston County to the B&O interchange at Tunnelton for shipment to points far removed from the mountains of Appalachia; until the late 1980s West Virginia Northern crews could be found somewhere along its roller coaster route switching its numerous coal tipples. The line became a tourist railroad in August 1994, operated by Inc.. The tourist operation ran until 1999, when its 'First Annual Railfan Weekend' was abruptly announced to be its final run. Locomotives and equipment remained on site until 2002, when the two remaining locomotives unceremoniously ran the line one final time under their own power from Kingwood shops to the CSX interchange at Tunnelton, where they were picked up and moved to a Pittsburghsuburb for storage.
Tracks were removed by 2005, leaving behind sparse evidence that a railroad existed there, with the exception of the trackless Kingwood shop area and ties stored near the former site of Marion Siding. As of 2020, the Preston County Parks & Recreation Commission is in the planning and development phase of creating the West Virginia Northern Rail Trail, after the right of way was acquired from the Kern Valley Railroad, who had purchased the line in the early 2000s for its scrap resources. Most of the structures at the former Kingwood Junction yard were removed in the late 2010s, although plans are in place to re-construct the old water tower in a different location as the 'gateway' for the new recreational trail. In 2017, the Virtual New Haven RR, a group that had developed a virtual train simulator game of the New Haven Railroad's Springfield line, released a new train simulator game based on the West Virginia Northern Railroad's route and surrounding topography and features; the game, released as the 'B&O Kingwood Branch', includes nearly identical re-creations of the Kingwood Junction and Tunnelton yards, as well as a accurate representation of the prototype railroad between the two points, inclusive of the double switchback, grade crossing locations, coal mines along the route.
