Life and career Hung has appeared in several films, and in 2009 took the joint-lead role in ''Permanent Residence'', playing the character Windson alongside Sean Li. He also sang the track "Truly Madly Deeply" for the same film.

The third, as yet unreleased, film in the trilogy, ''Life of an Artist'', examines the 'limits of art'. In ''Permanent Residence'', Hung's character, named Windson, is a straight young man who is befriended by a young gay man, Ivan (played by Sean Li), seeking a long-term relationship.

Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.

Cantonese-language Singers
Cantonese ( zh, t=廣東話, s=广东话, first=t, cy=Gwóngdūng wá) is a language within the Chinese (Sinitic) branch of the Sino-Tibetan languages originating from the city of Guangzhou (historically known as Canton) and its surrounding area in Southeastern China. It is the traditional prestige variety of the Yue Chinese dialect group, which has over 80 million native speakers. While the term ''Cantonese'' specifically refers to the prestige variety, it is often used to refer to the entire Yue subgroup of Chinese, including related but largely mutually unintelligible languages and dialects such as Taishanese.

In mainland China, it is the '' lingua franca'' of the province of Guangdong (being the majority language of the Pearl River Delta) and neighbouring areas such as Guang ...
