In 2014, CZ answered a post on Bitcointalk discussing a charity-themed memecoin called 邵逸夫币 (ShawCoin), to commemorate Run Run Shaw's contributions to charity.

Run Run Shaw (邵逸夫) was a billionaire media tycoon and philanthropist, who is deeply embedded into Chinese culture and daily life.
He donated billions of dollars to schools, universities and hospitals. Tens of thousands of academic buildings, libraries and labs are named after him.
Thanks to @flapdotsh's technology $邵逸夫币 directs fees to binance charity which funds humanitarian aid and education, allowing Sir Shaw's philanthropic legacy to live on.

$邵逸夫币 is not trying to wear anyone’s badge.
It is a community token for a man who industrialised Chinese film, built TVB, and treated wealth as something that had to return to people.
If that reads as noise, fair.
If it reads as a legend on-chain, that was the point.

You talk a lot about builders who give back.
Run Run Shaw did that before crypto existed.
106 years:
TVB, Shaw Brothers, then billions out the door to charity
$邵逸夫币 is just a community ticker so that name doesn’t die in a group chat.
$邵逸夫币 is a grassroots tribute to Sir Run Run Shaw’s life of film, television and giving.
No official foundation link — just people who refuse to let a giant be forgotten.
If you believe legends belong on-chain, you already understand the coin.
The $邵逸夫币 web is now live.

The website gives a deeper insight to the culture and lore behind $邵逸夫币, with an active donation counter of funds raised for @BinanceBCF
Hold the name. Hold the story.
$邵逸夫币 is not just another ticker.
It is a living tribute to a man who turned entertainment into philanthropy and lived 106 years doing it.
Every holder is helping keep Run Run Shaw’s name circulating in a new generation.
The legacy continues on-chain.
Why $邵逸夫币?
Because Sir Run Run Shaw proved wealth means nothing if it does not return to the people.
The coin exists so his name, his quote, and his 106-year story stay visible in crypto. Hold the name. Hold the story.
