He is not the richest man in Hong Kong's rich circle, and he was also notoriously stingy when he was young. But when it comes to him, many people's first impression of him is that he is a philanthropist who gives generously and benefits in many ways. He is Mr. Run Run Run Shaw.
Xiao Jia is less like "Yi"
Run Run Run Shaw is one of the few philanthropists among the richest people in Hong Kong. He donated more than HK$ 1000 billion in his life, especially his contribution to science and technology education in China.
The most famous is the famous Yifu Building, with more than 6,000 buildings in the mainland. Strangely, among these Yifu buildings, some buildings lack the word "Yi", and people who don't understand the reasons naturally feel puzzled.
The escape of Yifu Building is a little less.
It turns out that when Mr. Xiao donates money to education, he always sets the donation amount in advance. In the construction of the teaching building, the actual expenditure will inevitably exceed Mr. Xiao's donation, and the excess will be subsidized by other charitable organizations.
Mr Run Shao-fu once said that if the teaching building is not fully funded by himself, the name of Shaw Building cannot be hung up.
So, schools all over the country came up with an idea. If the school's Yifu Building is not entirely built by, then the word "Yi" in the name of Yifu Building will be omitted, which is also agreed by Mr. Wang.
Start a business at a young age and build a Shaw film empire.
Shaw can become a philanthropist with great influence on society, and its financial resources come from his huge Shaw film and television empire. This film and television empire has produced a large number of stars, such as Ruan, Li Lihua, Andy Lau and others, all from Shaw.
Shao yifu when he was young.
Shaw 1907 was born in a wealthy family in Shanghai. After growing up, for various reasons, the Shaw family gradually declined. As a last resort, Shao Yifu began to try to find another way of life. 19-year-old Shao Yifu, who just graduated from middle school, went south to Nanyang with his third brother Runme Shaw to explore the Nanyang film market.
From then on, the only old silent projector and the "Tianyi" film made by our company were all their possessions. With these things, the Shaw brothers began to tour the Nanyang countryside and opened amusement parks and cinemas in the local area. Since then, the film "Tianyi" has been vigorously developed by the Shaw brothers.
1930, Shaw Brothers acquired a number of cinemas back and forth, and founded the future film and television giant "Shaw Brothers Company" in Singapore. Later, the situation in Shanghai was turbulent, and the film and television entertainment industry was seriously affected.
Shaw Brothers decided to move Tianyi Film Company to Hong Kong, and then set up Tianyi Port Factory there. Bai Jinlong, produced by him, is the first movie with sound in China, and it caused great repercussions as soon as it was released. As the director of this film, Shao Yifu began to make his mark in the film and television circle, and the audience in China entered the "audio age".
Shao Yifu has his own unique thoughts and ideas in the process of film production, and he has made himself an expert in film production with practical actions. He asks himself to watch at least one movie every day, and he enjoys it no matter the quality of the movie. For the movies that the audience likes, he should think about what is good about drama. For movies with bad reputation, he should think about where the drama is bad.
He persisted day after day and became an expert in film production as early as the 1950s. He could do anything in film production such as script, photography, editing and makeup. He strictly guarantees the quality of the film. If a bad film can't be remedied in the end, he would rather burn it than let it be broadcast on the screen.
Not only is the film quality strictly controlled, Shaw Brothers Film Company has also won a large number of stars from its own hands, such as the title and casting of "Four Kings". Thanks to the efforts of these talented people, the classic Hong Kong movies poured in and became the memories of countless people, thus giving birth to the golden age of Hong Kong film industry.
Such is Shao Yifu, who made a breakthrough in the film and television industry with his innovative spirit and perseverance. Shaw Film was praised as "Oriental Hollywood" by western media in its heyday.
Since its establishment, Shaw Brothers Film Company has produced more than 65,438+0,000 films, each of which is brilliant and never tires of watching, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
Change your temperament and devote yourself to public welfare.
However, Shao Yifu shows his commercial essence in his works. He is keen on pursuing profits and strictly controlling costs. He is more famous for his meanness and diligence in business than Hong Kong people. Artists under the Shaw family are generally paid less. TVB founded by Xiao has won many stars, but all these people chose to leave after they became famous, because, as Deng Cuiwen said, "I am very popular, but I am extremely poor".
Shao Yifu's stingy transformation originated from his third brother Runme Shaw, who took him to start a business at first and shaped him with kindness.
1983, Runme Shaw suffered from an incurable stroke. He had to rely on drugs to maintain his life. Shao Yifu was deeply moved to see the tragic situation of his third brother in his later years. I have mixed feelings when I think that I have been squeezing others like Runme Shaw on weekdays, and the ending is likely to be the same. Therefore, great changes have taken place in his thoughts.
Since 1985, Mr. Run Run Shaw has donated more than 654.38 billion yuan to the mainland every year on average. Two years later, Shao Yifu began to look to his hometown of Ningbo for charity, and went back to his hometown many times to worship his ancestors and sympathize with his villagers, and donated more than 40 million yuan to Ningbo to develop local cultural and educational undertakings.
Mr. Shao Yifu's concern for his hometown has won unanimous appreciation. As early as the early 1990s, he was awarded the honorary titles of "model of loving his hometown" and "honorary citizen" by the Zhejiang provincial government.
1990, Chinese scientists discovered an asteroid. To commemorate Sir Run Run Shaw's contribution to science education in China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences named the newly discovered asteroid "Run Shaw Star".
In 2008, three days after the Wenchuan earthquake, Sir Run Shaw and his wife promised to donate HK$ 6,543.8 billion to the Ministry of Education to help rebuild schools in the disaster area. Two years later, a major earthquake struck Yushu, Qinghai, and Shao Yifu donated 654.38 billion Hong Kong dollars to the local area for post-disaster reconstruction.
Mr. Run Run Shaw passed away.
On 20 1 1 year, Sir Run Run Run Shaw retired. When he left, he never forgot his charity work and donated 2.59% equity of Shaw Fund to many charitable and educational institutions. Three years after retirement, Sir Run Run Run Run, aged 107, died suddenly at home, and a generation of philanthropists left us.
In the first half of his life, Shao Yifu made unremitting efforts and made unremitting efforts to strive for self-improvement. With amazing talent and efforts, he broke into his own world in the film and television circle and built his own business empire. When he was extremely rich, he never forgot the true meaning of "poverty helps the world" advocated by Confucianism, and spared no effort to make contributions to China's culture, education, science and technology for the benefit of the people in the second half of his life. Such a kind and selfless Sir Run Run Shaw will live in people's hearts forever.
