My Take
Cecilia Cheung is one of those Hong Kong stars who carried real fragility on screen yet proved she had steel underneath. I still rate her breakout in King of Comedy and the wistful glow of Fly Me to Polaris, but it was the Best Actress win at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards for Lost in Time that convinced me she was no mere pretty face. Her personal life has been picked apart endlessly, and what interests me most is how she kept working and rebuilding through it all. That quiet resilience, more than any single role, is why I find her genuinely compelling.
