Runde Shaw (1898–1973), also known as Shao Cunren and Shao Rendi, was the second-oldest of the Shaw brothers, originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, who established Tianyi Film Company (also called Unique) in Shanghai in the early 1920s, setting the stage for what would become the most prolific film production company in Asia.
The eldest Shaw brother Runje sent two of his younger brothers, Runme and Run Run to Malaya in 1925 to establish a South East Asian film distribution and cinema exhibition network for Unique's films.
Under the direction of Runme, this Singapore-based operation would eventually grow to become known as the modern-day Shaw Organisation.
After many successful years of film production, Runde's younger brother Run Run took over as head of the studio, and by 1958 Runde began to focus his company, Shaw and Sons, more on property investment, cinema exhibition and film distribution.
He died in 1973 in Hong Kong and his company Shaw and Sons is now mainly engaged in property and investment management.
