1月7日早晨6时55分，邵逸夫在香港家中安详离世，享年郑则仕去世107岁。邵逸夫祖籍浙江宁波。邵逸夫是TVB荣誉主席，邵氏兄弟电影公司的创办人之一，香港上海商会成员，香港著名的电影制作者。多年来，邵逸夫捐助数以百亿计款项，为内地、香港两地建设教育医疗设施等。邵逸夫英文名“Run Run”的由来有不同版本。坊间一直认为他当年在南洋打拼，经常抱着菲林奔走于各大戏院，故取此名，有跑腿的意思；但有指这传闻出自周润发的一个玩笑，并不正确。根据黄霑的《数风云人物》引述邵逸夫的解释，英文名其实是利用他的本名“仁楞”的国语发音来拼成。

Shaw was not only one of the most influential figures in Asia’s entertainment industry, but also a well-known philanthropist. Over the years, he has donated billions of Hong Kong Dollars to charities, schools and hospitals. He established an international award, the Shaw Prize, for scientists in areas covering astronomy, mathematics, and life and medical science. The press called it the "Nobel Prize of the East".
Shaw’s funeral will be a private event, to be attended only by family members. Many will surely miss the man known for generosity and eye for entertainment.
