The last surviving Shaw Brother. He started it all - the Kung Fu film genre. The obits are giving cursory nods to his amazing life story. He lived to 106 or 107 depending on who you believe.

Today, I mourn. Confusedad:

I heard about it on NPR. I'd like to hear more about his life. Will you be doing a long-form obit in KFM?
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Frankly I don't have much to add beyond the coverage already on the web. We didn't have any special relationship with him.

Here's our KFM thread: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?67136-Rest-in-peace-Run-Run-Shaw">http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/sho ... n-Run-Shaw</a><!-- m -->!
