Run Run Shaw visits a school in his hometown Ningbo of Zhejiang Province, funded by him. Shaw had donated HK$ 100 million every year to the Chinese mainland since 1985, in order to finance more than 3,000 charity projects, 80 percent of which were in the field of education. The asteroid 2899 was named after him by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990 to commend his contributions to China's education system. Shaw was knighted by the British Queen in 1977, making him the first one in the Hong Kong entertainment industry to receive this honor. [163.com] |
