CRI Exclusive -- Among the thunderous applause of his captivated fans, the Hong Kong singer and actor Jackie Cheung successfully completed his World Tour of the musical "Snow. Wolf. Lake."

With leading actresses Nadia Chan and Evonne HsuCheung gave a full finale to his 103 performances of the musical at Beijing's Capital Gymnasium on Saturday. Cheung said that although the show has proved its enduring quality, it's time for him to say farewell to the musical. This made the final performance seem even more special and historic, and even Cheung himself, Hong Kong's King of Songs, couldn't help getting teary-eyed at its completion.

Although "Snow. Wolf. Lake." performed in Beijing four times in 2004, it still attracted many excited fans again this time. Besides the excellent set design on stage, the splendid singing and acting kept fans enthralled. Each time Cheung began to sing, the fans were so moved that they would erupt in hearty applause, especially when leading actor Hu Wolf embraced leading actress XiaoXue as the show was ending.

Cheung gave his best efforts to make the final performance spectacular and fans didn't hesitate to reward him with their applause. With the moving song "Love Is Eternal", the musical "Snow. Wolf. Lake." drew a close. "Thank you to all who have supported 'Snow. Wolf. Lake.' all this time," said Cheung with tears in his eyes. "Thank you, my dear friends in Beijing."
