Yifu Buildings 逸夫楼 (Yifu Lou)

The Yifu Buildings nationwide are named after the Hong Kong media tycoon and philanthropist Sir Run Run Shaw, or Shao Yifu, who died at the age of 107 on Tuesday.

Sir Run Run donated more than HK$ 10 billion ($1.29 billion) to support education and healthcare on the Chinese mainland. According to Beijing News, he began his philanthropic journey when the mainland started to reform and open-up. This decision, according a friend, was because he wanted to make a "contribution to the country's development".
