In the Hong Kong film industry in the last century, his name occupied every big screen; On major campuses, his name is everywhere, appearing in every student's ear.
He is not a movie star, nor a scholar or professor. He is running run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run.
A godfather of entertainment circle who established Shaw Film Company and made several people dream of success, and a philanthropist who donated buildings to many mainland schools and hospitals.
Such a beautiful life, but no children and grandchildren enjoy family happiness around their knees in their later years.
All four children broke off contact with him and even refused to inherit his tens of billions of inheritance. The story behind this can only make people sigh.
Behind a successful man, there is always a woman who supports him without regrets, and the woman behind Shao Yifu is his wife Huang Meizhen and the mother of his four children.
The meeting with his first wife, Huang Meizhen, was unexpected. At that time, Bernard Shaw was still struggling in Nanyang, and Huang Meizhen was someone else's girlfriend.
A karma meeting, two people meet and know each other.
After chatting for a long time, both of them found that the other party had a different obsession with movies. Run Run Run Shaw, who is already in the film business, met Huang Meizhen who loves watching movies.
For a time, their thoughts collided and they met very late.
Fortunately, although Huang Meizhen is someone else's girlfriend, she is not married yet, so there is no need to shed tears. I hate not meeting her before marriage.
Go through many difficulties and break all kinds of secular shackles. 1937, they got married. After the marriage, Shaw's career flourished, and Huang Meizhen also helped his wife and made suggestions for her husband's career.
The two men supported each other through ups and downs for many years. If there were no Fang Yihua, they would be a much-told story.
On 1952, Shao Yifu met the popular female singer Fang Yihua and had a pleasant conversation with her.
The appearance of Fang Yihua is the beginning of the emotional breakdown between Run Run Run Shaw and Huang Meizhen. At that time, Huang Meizhen's appearance was gone, and she could no longer provide help and advice for running.
Fang Yihua is in the flower season of eighteen, and her thoughts and appearance are full of youthful vitality. As a result, the people who used to run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run
Run Run Run Shaw made hundreds of China films in his life, and he founded TVB as we know it now. In addition, he founded the Shaw Foundation and donated money to the mainland every year.
He didn't embark on the road of making movies from the beginning. If the war hadn't broken out and his family wealth hadn't declined, maybe Xiao would have inherited his family business and become a handsome dude.
But fate always seems to like joking to test everyone.
It turns out that his family runs a large pigment company and received English education since childhood. After my father died, the situation at home got worse every year.
Maybe I grew up in a business family, so I have a sharper sense of business than others. In daily photography, he not only shoots, but also studies and polishes himself, keeping every link of film production in mind.
1923, full of blood, went to Nanyang alone to support San Ge Shao's film career.
On the streets of Nanyang in those days, there was always a thin boy wiping the sweat on his forehead and slowly shaking the film. A few years later, he has expanded more than 100 cinemas.
Make the film industry bigger and stronger with the strength of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. By the 1930s, the names of the Shaw brothers were no longer unknown, and the significance of this title represented the Nanyang Film Emperor at that time.
The times are progressing, and people's needs are constantly changing and growing. Shao Yifu was no longer satisfied with the production of silent films. He made an important decision: to buy audio equipment in the United States.
The joke of fate is coming again. On the way to America, his ship ran aground and sank. Maybe he is lucky and shouldn't die here. The history of Hong Kong movies is still waiting for him to rewrite it.
In the cold sea, he hugged a wooden sampan, and he was rescued after wandering all night.
The trip to the United States not only made him realize the value of life, but also made him realize the film production in Hollywood, and made him understand that the progress of domestic films still needs a lot of efforts.
Bai Jinlong, the first audio film in the history of China, is the most powerful answer to Shao Yifu's determination to rewrite the film history, and he has also become the originator of audio films in China.
Shao Yifu has made great achievements in his career, but he has not fulfilled his due responsibilities to his family. Maybe he is a successful film producer, but he is not a good husband and father.
Huang Meizhen was deeply saddened by Fang Yihua's engagement to Run Run Run Shaw, but there was nothing she could do. Huang Meizhen left the United States sadly.
He and Huang Meizhen's four children will never forget what their father did. When they were young, they looked at Lacrimosa's mother all day, resenting and betraying this loving father.
What makes them even more unacceptable is that their father left the company to Fang Yihua, a person with no blood relationship, and destroyed their family, which made them even more resentful of their father.
Perhaps everyone's pursuit is different, and Shao Yifu, who is obsessed with his career, is doomed to lack some care for his family.
He felt guilty about Huang Meizhen, and even when she died, he closed the Shaw Company for her for a year. But the people of Sri Lanka have passed away, and they get nothing. The children were not moved by such behavior, and their relationship with him did not ease.
Since Huang Meizhen went to the United States, the children were raised by Shao Yifu's brother, and their feelings with Shao Yifu became even weaker.
After Huang Meizhen's death, the four children directly cut off contact with Shao Yifu and refused to communicate.
Maybe they really can't forget the harm their father brought them. They don't want to inherit Shao Yifu's tens of billions of inheritance, but reopen real estate and department stores in Singapore that have nothing to do with his father's film industry.
Couples always come together when they are young.
However, Run Run Shaw chose someone else in his middle age, but he didn't go to the end with Huang Meizhen when he was young, resulting in no partner in his later years and only one Fang Yihua around him.
I don't know if Shao Yifu regretted his choice when he looked at other people's family life in his twilight years. If he had been single-minded, the result would have been different.
Money can buy many things, but it can't buy the affection between Shao Yifu and his children.
There are many choices in one's life, but some choices may be a mistake. And what we have to do is to stick to our original intention, choose the first choice and not let ourselves regret it.
