Hong Kong actress and singer Cecilia Cheung on Saturday gave her first postpartum stage appearance to China Central Television.

The 27-year-old mother appeared in the mainland city of Suzhou with a slim figure, about two months after she gave birth to Lucas, her first child with her celebrity singer hubby, Nicholas Tse.

The couple were in Suzhou recording the "Happy China" concert series, which is to be aired later on CCTV.

Cecilia Cheung and her husband appeared on stage separately, each singing two songs. Tabloids say their brief appearances earned them one million yuan (US$133,157).

Cecilia Cheung's pregnancy had been a long-time focus of paparazzi.

The Hong Kong Film Awards' best actress is expected to have a busy schedule soon, reportedly having been tipped for several films and commercials.
