Mr. Run Run Shaw has inherited the Chinese tradition of emphasizing education, which has been passed down from generation to generation. As a father, he said, "My responsibility to my sons is to give them the best education possible." As a businessman with decades of hard-earned experience, he, on the other hand, y appreciates that education is the foundation for the development of China, where all industries are waiting to flourish. Being so enthusiastic about education over the years stems from a private wish he often shares with people around him: "If the Chinese nation is to prosper, it is vital to support education, enlighten young people, and nurture Chinese talents."
After 1985, Mr. Shaw spent an average of more than $100 million a year to support various social causes on the mainland, and was even more enamored with the cause of education in China. As he said, "The revitalization of the country depends on talents, the cultivation of talents depends on education, and the cultivation of talents is a requirement for the fundamental interests of the nation." Shaw regarded education as the foundation of the country, for which he had been dedicated and spared no effort over the years. According to incomplete statistics, to date, Shaw has donated 2.5 billion yuan to science, education, culture and health programs in the Mainland, and has contributed to more than 3,000 projects, of which more than 80% are education projects. Nowadays, school buildings, libraries, science and technology centers and other cultural, artistic and medical facilities named after Run Run Shaw are located all over the country. In the past few years, despite his advanced age, Run Run Shaw has made many personal visits to inspect the endowment programs in the north and south of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall.
