9th Posted January 9, 2016 RIP http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/07/world/asia/run-run-shaw-dies/ Sir Run Run Shaw, the media tycoon who helped bring Chinese martial arts films to an international audience, died at his home in Hong Kong on Tuesday at the age of 106, the television station he founded said on Tuesday. Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) said in a statement that the centenarian would be sadly missed: "Although we knew this day will come, no words can adequately express our sorrow and lessen our sense of a profound loss," it said. With his elder brother, Runme, Shaw co-founded one of the world's largest film studios, Shaw Brothers. The company has produced around 1,000 movies since 1958, and helped launch the careers of star actors and directors from across Asia. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted January 9, 2016 Yes, he will be missed. But he built a great filming industry so it should continue to live on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
