Sir Run Run Shaw, Hong Kong's film and TV magnate and well-known philanthropist, passed away peacefully at his home in Clearwater Bay yesterday afternoon. He was 107. People in Hong Kong society, acquainted with him or not, all extended their sympathies and cherished their memories of him. Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and Director Zhang Xiaoming of the Central Government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong also extended their condolences and sympathies to his families.
In his lifetime, friends and acquaintances of his generation and younger generations used to call Sir Run Run Shaw Luk Suk (Uncle Six) because he was the sixth of the seven children in the Shaw family. Outsiders respectfully called him Sir Run Run Shaw because he was granted an MBE by the Queen of the United Kingdom. His acquaintances all knew that he took this title quite seriously, as he insisted that this was an honour awarded to him by others which should be respected and not be changed due to any situational change. His adherence to a title showed he was a person of independence and principle, not easily influenced by the environment and other people.
It was such adherence and persistence that had enabled him to start the history of building up his film empire by setting up the Shaw Brothers Studios and buying in a huge piece of land in Clear Water Bay to build film studios in late 1960s, when Hong Kong economy had yet to take off and the market was full of Western films amid a decline of Cantonese films. At that time, films of Mainland operas were popular, with the Yueju Opera film Dream of the Red Mansions and Huangmei Opera film Marriage of the Fairy Princess becoming big hits. He immediately hired Director Li Han-hsiang, who was familiar with Chinese literature and arts, to shoot films of theatrical plays such as Butterfly Lovers. When the craze for theatrical films had faded away, a new craze for Shaolin Kung Fu movies hit the Mainland. Shaw Brothers Studios promptly began to shoot a batch of ancient Kung Fu films, bringing fame to Director Chang Cheh and such Kung Fu actors as Jimmy Wang Yu, David Chiang, and Ti Lung. This pioneered films with genuine Kung Fu actions, paving the way for Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others to successfully charge into Hollywood later and "beat up" foreigners on the screen...
Today, Hong Kong-made films are striving for revitalisation, and Hong Kong entertainment industry does not lack talents. However, in terms of leading the fashion, daring to create and lead a new trend, Sir Run Run Shaw's extraordinary wisdom, capability and courage have yet to be surpassed, who on his own had united and mobilized the whole industry to push Hong Kong films to one climax after another. It may be said that without the Shaw Brothers Studios and Sir Run Run Shaw, Hong Kong's film and TV entertainment industry could not have its prosperity today. To this saying there will be no objection from inside and outside the entertainment circle.
Sir Run Run Shaw's lifetime achievements and contributions by no means were limited to the over 1,000 films and TV series. After his success in business, he did not forget to contribute to society by making donations to school education. And following Ningbo's tradition of loving the nation and hometown, he had made long-term and constant donations to universities and primary and high schools on the Mainland. According to incomplete statistics, the total amount he had donated in this regard in past years has exceeded $4.5 billion, benefiting over 1,000 schools. Another principle of Sir Run Run Shaw for donation was "to make donations in kind rather than in cash". His donations were designated for building libraries and research laboratories on priority, and then classroom buildings, so that they could directly benefit teachers and students and would not be embezzled to build pavilions and pagodas or spend on dining and wining or sightseeing. Since his retirement as Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Professor Ma Lin has concentrated on managing the Shaw Foundation. He has always followed Sir Run Run Shaw's instructions, never doing anyone special favours nor seeking any payback.
Today, when cherishing our memories of Sir Run Run Shaw, we surely hold in esteem in the first place his love of the nation and hometown, his virtue of benevolence and his success in business. However, in a review of his whole life, he treasured the British knighthood yet never gave up his inherent Chinese qualities and dignity; he loved his own country, loved Hong Kong where he had lived through the latter half of his life, donating nearly $10 billion to his hometown fellows, compatriots and Hong Kong citizens; he was rich but not lived lavishly, he was successful but never conceited with his success, living a simple life, practicing qigong every day, wearing a traditional Chinese suit during the Chinese Lunar New Year, often taking a "lunch box" of home-made light-diet food when going to a banquet, and never being bossy to others let alone easily criticizing or negating others. In return, citizens from all sectors in society also gave their appreciation and respect to such a successful and generous personage. That was an age which could give birth to successes and in which people knew how to respect others and were united. This was the fundamental cause for various industries in Hong Kong and Hong Kong society as a whole to move toward success. Today, the passing of Sir Run Run Shaw makes people even more cherish the memory of the Hong Kong society in the age when "Films made by Shaw Brothers ought to be good".
