Every funeral of Hong Kong's rich man is enough to attract huge attention. Because Hong Kong's high society is a big circle with all kinds of people. Every time the rich hold a funeral, it is also a good opportunity for these high society to move around, and everyone is holding each other up, and it is also for outsiders to see.
After Ho's death, his funeral caused a sensation across the country. The funeral of a rich man is also the best summary of a rich man's life, who supports his soul, how many big people have come, these are very important, which also shows the status of this rich man. The funerals of Fok Ying-tung, Ho Hung-sun and Bao Yugang are also always compared.
Many Hong Kong's rich will also leave their last words before they die, such as hoping to help their own spirits. Before Lin Baixin died, he had hoped that Li Ka-shing would help him, but surprisingly, Li Ka-shing finally refused. Of course, the reason is unknown to outsiders.
Most of the rich hope that after their deaths, they can still enjoy the scenery, which is also the best summary of their lives. However, there are also exceptions, such as the big Hong Kong philanthropist Run Run Shaw. In his lifetime, Shaw donated more than 10,000 buildings to the mainland, spending more than 4 billion yuan. Many of these buildings were built 20 years ago, and if the money were put in today, it would be more than 4 billion.
After his death, Run Run Shaw also donated his remaining 20 billion net worth, and it can be said that Run Run Shaw is definitely a big philanthropist. However, such a philanthropist and entrepreneur, after his death at the age of 107, did not have a hong Kong rich man to send Shaw off. This is really surprising.
At Run Run Shaw's funeral, Li Ka-shing did not go, Ho Hong-sun did not go, and Lee Shau Kee did not go. In fact, it is not that hong Kong rich people do not give face, with the status and status of Run Shaw, let alone Hong Kong rich, even the mainland officials will definitely go.
In 2009, Run Run Shaw was also invited to Beijing to go to the city tower. Although Run Run Shaw is not the richest man in the top, his philanthropic contributions have made him one of the top people in Hong Kong, and Run Run Shaw is old and definitely respected in Hong Kong.
Normally speaking, Hong Kong's rich and political leaders must all be here, and the people who support Run Run Run Shaw's spirit must also be big figures in all aspects. However, after Shaw's 100th birthday, he made a will. At that time, Shaw said that his future funerals must be simple and not hold memorial services.
Run Run Shaw hopes to leave quietly and not to cause trouble for others, which is The great wisdom of Run Run Shaw. In 2014, the 107-year-old Shaw died peacefully at home, and after the news came out, the entire Chinese world was a sensation. Throughout his life, Shaw was charitable and cultivated many stars.
Many stars and directors have worked in Shaw's, and with the influence of TVB later, almost half of the entertainment industry is from Shaw's hands. Many stars and directors have rushed to Hong Kong, hoping to give Run Run Shaw a ride. However, Fang Yihua refused, and in the end she only agreed to Cao Zhong and Zhen Zhen, two female stars, to send off Run Run Shaw. Everyone else refused.
In addition, the rich man in the business world, Fang Yihua, also refused. In terms of politics, only two brothers went to send Shaw. Shaw's funerals were attended by Shaw's relatives, with almost no outsiders attending. Run Run Shaw left this world in peace. However, then Fang Yihua still held a memorial service for Run Run Shaw, and at that time, most of the people in the entertainment industry went to participate, almost all the people in the Hong Kong entertainment circle went.
Run Run Shaw is definitely a big philanthropist, he began to donate money to build education in the mainland very early, in fact, Run Run Shaw is not a super rich man, his net worth is only 20 to 30 billion, but he has donated more than half of his wealth before he died.
Many people have seen Run Run Run Shaw at their schools. However, many people do not find that some of these Shaw buildings have a little less word. Why? In fact, this is shaw's intention. Because not every Shaw building is a donation from Run Shaw alone, some of it is also donated by other rich people.
Therefore, Run Run Shaw deliberately wrote one less point for the Shaw Building, which was not his wholly donated, indicating that the meaning of Dacheng was lacking, which was also Shaw's modest attitude. Think about it, if Shaw had not used these billions of dollars to build education and hand over the house, but used them to invest in real estate, what would Run Run Run Shaw's wealth be now. That Shaw's wealth is definitely Li Ka-shing's level.
In the last moments of Mrs. Shao's life, she has been busy with one thing, that is, selling her TVB. A lot of people can't understand the whole thing. Hong Kong's rich people are very serious about their succession, almost every rich man wants his career to continue, but this Shaw hopes to sell his career.
In fact, Run Run Shaw's children are all in business in Singapore, not in Hong Kong, and Run Run Shaw does not want them to succeed, but wants them to develop on their own. After Run Run Shaw's death, Fong Yi-wah took over TVB, but Fong Yi-wah and Run-Shaw did not have children, so Fang Yihua's succession was also excessive.
Shaw's goal was to sell TVB alongside the land in Clearwater Bay and then use the money for charity. In the end, Run Run Shaw also successfully sold the shares of TVB and the land of Clearwater Bay at the end of his life, cashing out more than 7 billion. The cash, along with Run Run Shaw's assets, was later donated to the Run Run Shaw Charitable Foundation.
After Shaw's death, the total size of the fund was about 20 billion yuan, and it continued to contribute to philanthropy, including the annual Shaw Prize, as well as donations to education and other aspects.
Run Run Shaw's life can be said to be a frank and frank life. The same is true of Run Run Shaw's relationship with Fong Yi Wah. Although Fang Yihua was not Run Run Shaw's original match, many people forgot that in fact, in that era, Run Shaw could completely remarry Fang Yihua.
However, in order to show respect for the original Huang Meizhen, Run Run Shaw also waited until 10 years after Huang Meizhen's death before taking Fang Yihua to the United States to get married. At that time, Shaw was already 90 years old. In fact, Run Run Shaw and Fong Yihua are more of a spiritual couple, the two have not lived together, and the two have not had children. Shaw once said of himself, saying that he was a gentleman and not a vulgar. Run Run Shaw really did this much better than Ho and others.
