He was one of the most influential figures in the Asian entertainment industry. He founded the Shaw Brothers Studio, one of the largest film production companies in Hong Kong, and TVB, the dominant television company in Hong Kong. A well-known philanthropist, Shaw donated billions of Hong Kong dollars to educational institutions in Hong Kong and mainland China. More than 5,000 buildings on Chinese college campuses bear his name,〔 as does Shaw College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He also established the Shaw Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Asia. ==Early life== Run Run Shaw was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang, Qing China, and moved to Shanghai as a child.〔 He was the youngest of the six sons of Shanghai textile merchant Shaw Yuh Hsuen (1867–1920) and his wife Wang Shun Xiang (1871–1939).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Shaw: The Beginning 1924-1933 )〕 His name at birth was Shao Renleng (邵仁楞), which was later changed to Shao Yifu (邵逸夫) because he thought that the average Chinese person would not know how to pronounce the character 楞 (''léng'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Unprecendented TVB Kingdom end with Sales ) Translation of the content of preceding Chinese news website in its last three paragraphs.〕 There are a number of explanations given for the use of his English name Run Run Shaw,〔〔 but Shaw reportedly said that it was simply a transliteration of his birth name Shao Renleng in the Ningbo dialect.〔 There is some confusion surrounding Run Run Shaw's exact date of birth. He celebrated his birthdays on the 14th day of the 10th month of the Chinese calendar, which fell on 23 November in 2007, his 100th birthday.〔 Many sources use 23 November 1907 as his birthdate.〔 However, the 14th day of the 10th month of the Chinese calendar in 1907 corresponds to 19 November 1907 on the Gregorian calendar, which, according to ''China Daily'' was his birthdate. He graduated from the Shanghai YMCA School, where he learned English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Run Run Shaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
