FURTHER DETAILS
Pok Shau-fu (Bu Shaofu, 1909-2000), a native of Jiangsu Province, was a prominent figure in journalism. After graduating from Meiji University in Japan in 1937, Pok served as an editor for numerous newspapers and magazines throughout his career. In 1945, he founded News World, the highest-selling and longest-running modern magazine. Following 1949, Pok resided in Hong Kong for many years. He transitioned into journalism education in 1969 and later served in the Taiwan Legislative Yuan from 1981 to 1986.
