Run Run Shaw, the colorful Hong Kong media mogul whose name was synonymous with low-budget Chinese action and horror films — and especially with the wildly successful kung fu genre, which he is largely credited with inventing — died on Tuesday at his home in Hong Kong. He was 106.

RIP Run Run Shaw
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

Re: RIP Run Run Shaw
Run Run stopped stopped.
He only retired as head of a TV network in Hong Kong in 2011 at age 104. He was also one of the producers of Blade Runner, although I think his involvement was primarily as a financial backer.
