==Early life and education==
Maggie Cheung was born in Hong Kong on 20 September 1964 to [[Shanghainese people|Shanghainese]] parents.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.voguehk.com/en/article/celebrity/maggie-cheung-style-file/ |title=Style File: Maggie Cheung}}</ref> She attended St. Paul's Primary Catholic School in [[Happy Valley, Hong Kong|Happy Valley]], where she began at the primary one level. Her family emigrated from Hong Kong to the United Kingdom when she was eight. She spent part of her childhood and adolescence in [[Bromley]], London, and attended St Edmund's School, Canterbury. She returned to Hong Kong at the age of 18 in 1982 for a vacation but ended up staying for modelling assignments and other commitments. She also briefly had a sales job at the [[Lane Crawford]] department store.<ref name=vamp />

In 1983, Cheung entered the [[Miss Hong Kong pageant]] and won the first runner-up and the Miss Photogenic award as well.<ref>{{cite web|title=Miss Hong Kong 1983|url=http://www.misshkbeauties.com/mhk/1983/index.htm|work=misshkbeauties.com|access-date=18 September 2010}}</ref> She was a semi-finalist in the [[Miss World]] pageant the same year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.missworld.tv/history/previousTitleHolders.sps?iType=6919&icustompageid=13079|title=Miss World Previous Title Holders - 1983|work=missworld.tv}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> After two years as a TV presenter, it led to a contract with TVB (the television arm of the Shaw Bros. Studio).<ref name=vamp>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/maggie-cheung-the-lady-is-a-vamp-496611.html|title=Maggie Cheung: The Lady Is A Vamp|work=The Independent|date=5 October 2011}}</ref>

Cheung is a [[polyglot]] as a result of her upbringing in Hong Kong and England and ten years' stay in Paris. In ''[[Center Stage (1991 film)|Center Stage]]'', Cheung performed in [[Standard Cantonese|Cantonese]], [[Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]], and [[Shanghainese]] fluently, switching languages with ease. In ''[[Clean (2004 film)|Clean]]'', she performed in fluent English, French, and Cantonese.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

==Career==
Soon after her debut, Cheung broke into the film industry, starring in comedies. She caught the attention of [[Jackie Chan]], who cast her in [[Police Story (film series)|''Police Story'']] (1985) as May, his long-suffering girlfriend. The film was a huge hit and made Cheung a star overnight.<ref name=star>{{cite web|url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/film/86232.htm|title=Hong Kong Actress Maggie Cheung|work=China.org.cn}}</ref><ref name=women>{{cite web |url=http://www.womenofchina.cn/womenofchina/html1/people/celebrities/8/2800-1.htm |title=Maggie Cheung: A Multi Award-Winning Actress from Hong Kong |work=[[Womenofchina.cn|Women of China]] }}</ref> Cheung was slated to star in TVB's "The Legend of the General Who Never Was", but due to the death of [[Barbara Yung]] who was in the midst of filming ''Battlefield'', and ''The Feud That Never Was'' a.k.a. ''Kings of Ideas'' ({{lang|zh|橋王之王}}), Yung's remaining scenes were assigned to Cheung, and Cheung's role was given to [[Sheren Tang]].<ref>{{cite web |title=《岁月风云》热播 邓萃雯回首过去体味人生(图) |url=https://yule.sohu.com/20070708/n250953311.shtml |date=2007-07-08 |agency=[[Xinhua News Agency|Xinhua News]] |publisher=Sohu |quote={{lang|zh|入行时，TVB最红的花旦是翁美玲和张曼玉，我拍《薛仁贵》时，翁美玲还在，怎知到我拍第二套戏，她已经过了身，她不在，公司很焦急，原本为她度身订造的角色，落在张曼玉身上，而我，又顶了张曼玉原来的角色，之后我有份演出的都是做女主角。配角，应该未做过。}} |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240127043432/https://yule.sohu.com/20070708/n250953311.shtml |archive-date=2024-01-27 |url-status=live  }}</ref>

Despite her success, Cheung found herself typecast in the roles of comics or weak, clumsy women. Realizing this, Cheung wanted to break away by seeking more dramatic roles. She got this opportunity when [[Wong Kar-wai]] cast her in ''[[As Tears Go By (film)|As Tears Go By]]'' (1988), the first of her many collaborations with Wong.<ref name=star /><ref name=women /> Cheung often cites the film as the piece that truly began her serious acting career, and she won critical praise for it. In 1989, she won Best Actress awards at the [[Golden Horse Award]] and [[Hong Kong Film Award]] for her work in ''Full Moon in New York'' and ''[[A Fishy Story]]'' respectively.<ref name=women /> In 1991, she became the first Chinese performer to win a Best Actress Award at the prestigious [[Berlin Film Festival]] for her work in ''[[Center Stage (1991 film)|Center Stage]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/02/25/movies/grand-canyon-wins-the-first-prize-at-berlin-festival.html|title='Grand Canyon' Wins The First Prize at Berlin Festival|work=The New York Times|date=25 February 1992|last1=Rockwell|first1=John}}</ref>

Cheung subsequently proved her versatility with roles in action films. Her performance in the sci-fi martial arts smash hit ''[[The Heroic Trio]]'' (1992) and its sequel, ''[[Executioners (film)|Executioners]]'' (1993), impressed both critics and audiences with her martial arts skills.<ref name=star /> Also in a departure from her usual roles, Cheung played a beautiful and vicious femme fatale in ''[[New Dragon Gate Inn]]'' (1992).<ref name=women />

After taking a break in 1994, Cheung returned to film [[Olivier Assayas]]' ''[[Irma Vep]]'' (1996), which helped her break into the international scene.<ref name=star /> That same year, she won further acclaim for her work in the romantic film ''[[Comrades: Almost a Love Story]]'', in which she played one of a pair of lovers kept apart for ten years by fate and circumstance. The following year, she made her first English-language film in [[Wayne Wang]]'s  ''[[Chinese Box]]'' (1997). Cast as a mysterious young woman named Jean, Cheung held her own alongside the more internationally well-established stars, [[Jeremy Irons]] and [[Gong Li]].<ref name=women />

After her 1998 marriage to Olivier Assayas, Cheung stayed mainly in France. She returned to Hong Kong to film ''[[In the Mood for Love]]'' (2000), which won critical acclaim and a second Taiwanese Golden Horse award for Cheung.<ref name=vamp /><ref name=star /> Thereafter, she starred in [[Zhang Yimou]]'s ''[[Hero (2002 film)|Hero]]'' (2002) and Wong's ''[[2046 (film)|2046]]'' (2004).<ref name=star /> She won the Best Actress award at the [[Cannes Film Festival]] for her role as a mother who tries to kick her drug habit and reconcile with her long-lost son in ''[[Clean (2004 film)|Clean]]'' (2004).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.sina.com/special_report/040524cannes.shtml|title=Maggie Cheung Snatches Best Actress Award at Cannes|work=Sina}}</ref>
