About Aaron
Aaron Kwok Fu Shing is a famous singer and film actor in Hong Kong. The Chinese media refer to Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Leon Lai as the Cantopop Four Heavenly Kings (四大天王 Cantonese: sêi daài tïn wong, Pinyin: sì dà tiān wáng). He is also known as "Hong Kong's Michael Jackson" because of his excellent dancing ability.
In 2004, Aaron held a series of concerts which impressed fans and critics alike, and garnered him a Hong Kong Dance award presented by the Hong Kong Dance Alliance. Due to the overwhelming success of his 2004 concert series, Aaron held a second series of concert in the following year. He shaved his head for his 2005 concert, and his new image surprised a lot of the audiences. "The Aaron Kwok Mega Hits Live In Concert 2005 Chapter II" got great reviews from the audiences and the media, due to Aaron's amazing performance and fabulous clothing.
At the Taiwan's 42nd Golden Horse Awards ceremony on November 13, 2005, Aaron won the Best Leading Actor title for his role in "Divergence" by beating out Hong Kong veteran Tony Leung Ka-Fai and took everyone, including himself, by surprise. This was also Aaron's first Golden Horse nomination.
Aaron was a dancer before he started his music career. He first gained recognition in Taiwan for a TV advertisement. Soon after, in 1990, his debut album "Love You Endlessly"( 對你愛不完 Cantonese: dêui néi ngoî bät yun, Pinyin: duì ní aì bù wán) was released in Taiwan. This album had sold more than 500,000 records in both Taiwan and Hong Kong. The song "Love You Endlessly" (對你愛不完) was the biggest hit in the early 90s. The success of his first album made him famous in Hong Kong and earned him the title as one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Chinese music industry.
