Chapter 101: Shou Jing

Along the way, Li Zeju and Luo Tiancheng met very happily, and the buildings in Hong Kong outside have not changed much, the only change is that a large number of storefronts have been transferred, which is not the same as the shops sold before.

"Grandma, this is a gift I bought for you." Luo Tiancheng took out a peculiar milky white jade from his bag, Li Zeju, including Li Xiangjiang, who was well-informed, couldn't recognize the name of this jade, it looked like an ordinary jade, but they all knew that with Luo Tiancheng's worth, they naturally wouldn't make a move.

"You said that you are here, it's okay, why do you still bring gifts." Mrs. Zhuang happily accepted the gift, and as soon as she took over, she felt that this piece of jade was not simple, as if there was a warm current, flowing from her fingers through her arms, flowing through her whole body, and finally gathering at her heart. Old Madam Zhuang felt that her body was already weak, and she had strength again, and suddenly her face had a trace of healthy red, and she looked at the jade in front of her in amazement, looking left and right.

"Grandma, this jade, it's best for you to stay with you all the time, it has the effect of prolonging life and maintaining physical and mental health." Luo Tiancheng instructed with a cautious expression on his face.

"Tiancheng, this jade is too valuable, you better keep it." Mrs. Zhuang is naturally not a person who has never seen the world, and she can receive many gifts worth hundreds of thousands or even millions every year, but they are not as good as the jade in front of her, which can only be used as an antique for appreciation, but this has a real effect.

Li Xiangjiang was sitting behind Mrs. Zhuang's words, glanced at Luo Tiancheng in shock, and then kept staring at the jade, wanting to see what was famous, what his mother said, he was 100% convinced, there must be something precious about it. Only then did he carefully observe Old Madam Zhuang's expression, and found that Old Madam Zhuang was already over 100 years of weak body, and her qi was slightly higher than just now, and there was an incredible trace of healthy red on her withered yellow skin.

Perhaps thinking of the role of jade, Li Xiangjiang held back the excitement in his heart: "Mom, since it is Tiancheng's intention, you can take it." Tiancheng is our relative, so naturally we should not see each other like this. ”

"But, this-" The longer Mrs. Zhuang held the jade, the stronger the feeling of joy in her body became, and the more reluctant she was to let go, but she knew that this jade was not ordinary.

"Grandma, yes, Uncle Li said so, you just accept it, otherwise you won't treat me as your relative-" Luo Tiancheng had no choice but to make this move.

"yes, okay." After speaking, Mrs. Zhuang personally put the jade around her neck and did not let her subordinates pass it.

In fact, this piece of jade, Luo Tiancheng deliberately let a unit of fungus blanket spend a month to secrete and cultivate, which contains the function of nutrient solution and part of the energy crystal, by changing the internal structure of the energy crystal, so that the energy crystal can be naturally emitted, and after contact with the body, the nutrient solution that has become a solid state and the energy emitted will naturally penetrate into the body with a trace of energy, maintaining the energy required for the operation of the body.

Only the Zerg can perfectly breed such a perfect fusion jade, and on the outside of the Zerg, this kind of jade that can prolong life is called "Shoujing". Nature has a myriad of possibilities, and naturally there are crystals with this function.

Mrs. Zhuang should have died in 86, because she has lived until now through Luo Tiancheng's nutrient solution, and the body's own gene body has gone to the tail end, Luo Tiancheng's method is only a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the external energy to maintain the operation of the body, and the energy that can be emitted by the crystal can also make the energy in the gene body be less, so that Mrs. Zhuang has a longer lifespan, how long can it be, Luo Tiancheng is not clear, at least there is no problem with the crystal and the nutrient solution for ten years.

Li Xiangjiang's deep shock is incomparable, there are really such rare treasures in the world, although I don't know where they come from, but as long as there is money in the current society, they are not afraid that they will not be able to obtain it, and it seems that they will have to pay attention to searching for this kind of rare treasures in the future. Immediately, he stared at Luo Tiancheng gratefully for a while, everything was silent, Tiancheng is really the lucky star of my Li family!

Li Xiangjiang attaches great importance to the physical health of the old lady, and as she gets older, at least some aspects gradually reflect the signs of old age and physical decline, such as eyes, movement and body. I have also been collecting medicinal materials to supplement the old lady's body little by little, but when the body reaches a certain level, even if I eat more, it is useless, and my heart is naturally very anxious.

After Luo Tiancheng distributed the gifts, he didn't see Li Ergongzi, it is estimated that he didn't live here, so he naturally didn't care, and after dinner with Mrs. Zhuang and others, he went to rest, and the next day he was going to meet a legendary figure in the Hong Kong film industry, Run Run Shaw!

Shaw's father had five sons and three daughters. In 1907, Run Run Shaw was born, and he was the sixth oldest among his brothers and sisters, so the Hong Kong film and television industry respectfully called him "Sixth Uncle" and "Sixth Boss". When Shaw grew up, the Shaw family was already in the middle of the road, with only an old house in Shanghai and a Shanghai theater called "Laughing Stage".

In his early years, Run Run Shaw studied at Yip's Zhongxing School in Zhuangshi, Zhuang City, where he was classmates with Bao Yugang, Bao Congxing, and Zhao Anzhong, and later went to Shanghai to study at the "YMCA Middle School", an English school run by the Americans, for which he practiced fluent English. None of the many brothers of the Shao family inherited their father's business, and almost all of them entered the entertainment industry. Among the five brothers, the eldest brother, Shao Zuiweng, founded Tianyi Film Company in 1924 and began to break into the Chinese film industry at that time.

When Run Run Shaw was a student at the "Shanghai YMCA English Middle School", he had already joined the Shanghai Tianyi Film Company, which was founded by his eldest brother Shao Renjie, and helped his brother develop overseas distribution. In 1925, the Shaw Brothers established the "Tianyi Film Company" in Shanghai, which was also the predecessor of the Shaw Brothers Film Company.

In 1926, Run Run Shaw, who had just graduated from secondary school, was invited by his third brother Shaw Renmei to go south to Singapore to help develop the Nanyang Film Market. After that, the Shaw Brothers took a dilapidated silent projector and the "Tianyi" film to the Nanyang countryside for screening, and opened amusement parks and cinemas. Tianyi Film developed rapidly in the first two years of its establishment, and other film companies formed the "Liuhe Film Company" to encircle and suppress "Tianyi", forcing the big theaters in Shanghai and even Nanyang to stop showing Tianyi's films.

In 1930, the Shaw Brothers established the "Shaw Brothers Company" in Singapore, and Run Run Shaw and his third brother Shaw Renmei established the Shaw Brothers and purchased a number of cinemas.

In 1931, Run Run Shaw went to the United States to buy sound film equipment. On the way, the ship hit a reef and sank, but fortunately, Run Run Shaw, who fell into the water, was finally rescued after a night of drifting on the sea with a small piece of wooden sampan, and bought back the "talking machine" he needed from Hollywood, USA.

In 1932, after the 918 Incident, due to the unstable situation in Shanghai, "Tianyi Pictures" decided to move to Hong Kong for development and established "Tianyi Port Factory". China's first sound film, Platinum Dragon, of which Run Run Run Shaw was produced and directed, causing a sensation and bringing Chinese audiences into the "audio age".

By the eve of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Tianyi Pictures in Shanghai, the Shaw Brothers in Nanyang, Singapore, Malaysia, Java, Vietnam, Borneo and other Southeast Asian places had more than 110 cinemas and 9 amusement parks, and established a complete film distribution network.

In 1938, Tianyi Pictures officially changed its name to "Nanyang Film Company", and then the Second World War spread to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Nanyang fell one after another, and the film career of the Shaw brothers was greatly hit.

After the war, the second brother Shao Rendi returned to Hong Kong to rebuild the business, and in 1948, he changed the name of "Nanyang Film" to "Shaw Brothers and Sons". At the same time, Shaw Shaw's Singapore film company "Shaw Brothers" with his third brother Ren Mei is also back on track. However, the development of the "father and son company" in Hong Kong was not smooth, and it was caught between the two major film companies "Dianmao" and "Great Wall", so Run Run Shaw decided to take over the film business in Hong Kong.

In 1957, Run Run Shaw returned to Hong Kong and bought the Clear Water Bay land of the "Father and Son Company" for 320,000 yuan, built Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and established "Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Limited" to develop his film career independently.

In 1957, he established "Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd." with Shaw Renmei to produce films in Hong Kong, with Run Run Shaw as president. In 1961, the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, was officially opened on 6 December.

In 1980, Run Run Shaw became the largest shareholder of TVB and became Chairman of the Board. During the same period, Shaw Brothers' film business continued to shrink, reducing the number of films, and in 1985 it sold all theatrical chains, and in May 1987, Shaw Brothers announced that it would stop producing films. From the time Shaw Brothers started production to the time when production was suspended, Shaw Brothers had produced more than 1,000 films. In the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers ventured into the fast-growing television industry, partnering with TVB to train artists. In 1973, Run Run Shaw held the first Miss Hong Kong Audition, which became the most representative beauty pageant in Hong Kong.

Since 1985, Run Run Shaw has turned his attention to Chinese mainland. In that year, he donated 10 million yuan to the China Conservation Dunhuang Painting Exhibition Project and Zhejiang University. The relevant departments have erected a special monument to commemorate it. Wang Chongguang, a cultural figure in Yongshang, went to Dunhuang in 1996 for investigation. In the depths of the desert, there is more than one similar monument, but only fellow villager Run Run Shaw is a descendant of Yan and Huang.
