She is considered to be one of the most successful and internationally acclaimed actresses in Asia. Cheung is the recipient of numerous accolades, including six [[Hong Kong Film Awards]] and five [[Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards|Golden Horse Awards]], holding the record for most awards in the Best Actress category. Internationally, she is best known for winning the [[Silver Bear for Best Actress|Silver Bear]] for ''[[Center Stage (1991 film)|Center Stage]]'' (1991) and the [[Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress|Cannes Film Festival Award]] for ''[[Clean (2004 film)|Clean]]'' (2004), making her the first Asian actress to receive the latter and the only Asian actress to have won Best Actress awards at two of the three major European film festivals. 

Cheung first rose to prominence in the 1980s, gaining wide recognition through her collaboration with [[Jackie Chan]] in the 'Police Story' movies. She quickly expanded her work from commercial action and comedy to dramatic roles, appearing in films such as ''[[As Tears Go By (film)|As Tears Go By]]'' (1988), ''[[Days of Being Wild]]'' (1990), ''[[Irma Vep]]'' and ''[[Comrades, Almost a Love Story]]'' (both 1996).

==Career==
===1984–1987: Early work===

Shortly after her debut, Maggie Cheung broke into the film industry by starring in the comedy Prince Charming (1984), which became a box office hit. Her standout performance caught the attention of [[Jackie Chan]], who subsequently cast her as May—a long-suffering girlfriend—in the 1985 film [[Police Story (1985 film)|Police Story]]. The movie achieved tremendous success, catapulting Cheung to overnight stardom and cementing her popularity across Asia.<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|access-date=25 June 2017|archive-date=3 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803170435/http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/film/86232.htm|url-status=live}}</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]] |access-date=25 June 2017 |archive-date=31 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331104033/http://www.womenofchina.cn/womenofchina/html1/people/celebrities/8/2800-1.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> 

===1988–1994: Breakthrough===

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 />

[[File:Maggie Cheung won Best Actress at Berlin.jpg|thumb|Cheung at the 1992 [[Berlin International Film Festival]]]]

Cheung often cites the film as the piece that truly began her serious acting career, and she won critical praise for it. In 1989–1990, 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" /> Rolling ''[[Red Dust (1990 film)|Red Dust]]'' won the [[Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards|Golden Horse Award]] for Best Supporting Actress.

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]]''. Cheung made a historic contribution to China in the performance award.<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|archive-date=2 September 2020|access-date=4 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200902060020/https://www.nytimes.com/1992/02/25/movies/grand-canyon-wins-the-first-prize-at-berlin-festival.html|url-status=live}}</ref> With this film, Maggie Cheung won the Best Actress Award at the [[Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards|Taiwan Golden Horse Film]] Awards, the Best Actress Award at the [[Hong Kong Film Awards]], and many other awards.

Cheung subsequently proved her versatility with roles in action films.

In the film [[Green Snake (1993 film)|Green Snake]] (1993), she played a snake demon who transformed into a human form.
She was both good and evil, yearning for human emotions while feeling confused about them.
In [[Wong Kar-wai]]'s film ''[[Ashes of Time]]'' (1994), she almost carried the soul of the character with "static performance":<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 September 2024 |title="I'm proud of being me": Maggie Cheung, from As Tears Go By to Irma Vep |url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/features/im-proud-being-me-maggie-cheung-from-tears-go-irma-vep |website=BFI}}</ref> without fierce dramatic conflicts, she conveyed turbulent emotions through eyes, gestures and silence.

She took a two-year sabbatical and used the time to reflect upon which kinds of roles interested her.

On April 17, 2024, just as the "100-day countdown to the Paris Olympic Games" and "the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France", Maggie Cheung was invited by the state to act as the ambassador of the "China-France Badminton Charity Festival" and attend the event together with [[Juliette Binoche]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Special thanks to Ms. Maggie Cheung Man-yuk and Ms. Juliette Binoche, the | website=[[Facebook]] |url=https://www.facebook.com/share/1UjBUBUi1p/?mibextid=wwXIfr}}</ref>

==Retirement life==
In May 2014, Cheung performed at the 2014 Strawberry Music Festival (Shanghai and Beijing).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/comment/blogs/article/1502632/screen-icon-turned-rock-star-maggie-cheung-wowed-audience-china/|title=Culture Club {{!}} Screen icon-turned rock star Maggie Cheung ‘wows’ audience in China|date=May 2, 2014|archive-url=https://amp.scmp.com/comment/blogs/article/1502632/screen-icon-turned-rock-star-maggie-cheung-wowed-audience-china|archive-date=December 1, 2025|work=South China Morning Post}}</ref>

On November 22, 2022, Cheung opened a China version of [[TikTok]] account. She said that she found these video clips while cleaning up old files on her computer. She wrote: "When I watched these videos again, I suddenly realized that time passed too fast." She occasionally shares old materials of her past work or life on the platform.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Maggie Cheung gets 55 million views within a day on new Douyin account |url=https://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/maggie-cheung-gets-55-million-views-within-day-new-douyin-account}}</ref>

On September 20, 2023, Cheung cooperated with [[Olay|OLAY]] brand again and appeared in the camera to shoot a short film.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Elusive HK screen goddess Maggie Cheung returns to limelight with commercial for US skincare brand |url=https://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/elusive-hk-screen-goddess-maggie-064344119.html}}</ref>

On September 3, 2024, [[GQ]] magazine published a document. "Maggie Cheung Walked Away From Acting 20 Years Ago, but Her Legend Endures". Raymond Ang, writer of the article tried to contact Cheung for an interview but declined to be interviewed and Ang by saying: When I began work on this story in the spring, I reached out to Cheung's publicist of several years, trying to see if she might be open to doing an interview. It only took two weeks to get a polite but firm rejection. "Ms. Cheung has decided not to participate in the interview." her publicist wrote in an email. "She did not give a reason, but she's been turning down almost all press opportunities for quite awhile."

She turned down BFI's invitation to participate in their 2024 retrospective as well. "It does add to the mystique," Kimberley Sheehan, the programmer of the retrospective, stated. "It's almost more fitting she's not coming."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Maggie Cheung Walked Away From Acting 20 Years Ago, but Her Legend Endures |url=https://www.gq.com/story/maggie-cheung |work=GQ}}</ref>

In August 2025, Cheung created a public [[Xiaohongshu]] page, quickly amassing over one million followers after posting several short announcement videos for the page.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-08-18 |title=Maggie Cheung, 60, joins Xiaohongshu; responds with grace to negative comments |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/entertainment/2025/08/18/maggie-cheung-60-joins-xiaohongshu-responds-with-grace-to-comments-about-her-looking-old |access-date=2025-08-24 |website=The Star |language=en}}</ref>
