Even if some so-called music professionals or "Black China" say that Andy Lau's voice is not dominant, or that his songs are too popular, Andy Lau-style vibrato singing has indeed performed many emotional and perfect love songs. Reality has proved that his pop songs, whether in Cantonese or Mandarin, have been affirmed and supported by a huge fan base.

So when talking about the topic of "Four Heavenly Kings", he once said to the media, "Actually, I debuted earlier than them. Strictly speaking, we are not from the same era. " Debut early is not the biggest difference between Andy Lau and the other three. The key point is that in everyone's mind, Andy Lau is a perfect example of a successful artist, and his workaholic spirit as a model worker has amazed his peers and the media. In 2000, Andy Lau invested in the production of his first100th film "Ah Fu", and he was strong in his old age. In addition, his balanced development of versatility and specialty is also the best among the four. Even after winning the first Oscar in 2000, he began to put more energy into movies, but his music was still high.

Andy Lau, known as the "Iron Man of Asia" and "Bull Man", is a symbol of hard work of Hongkong people and even China people. It is because he has a young and energetic heart forever, is willing to pay more sweat than others, is willing to work hard and struggle all the time, and is a fan of his dreams!
