"Please visualize the Parsis coming to Hong Kong, Canton and Macao in the late 1700s and setting up businesses in the south of China. How did they even hear of these places more than 200 years ago with no TVs, phones, radios, etc? And yet (they) came?” Neville Shroff, president of the Zoroastrian Charity Funds of Hongkong, Canton and Macao (ZCFHCM) that was hosting the gala awards dinner for the World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC), urged the distinguished international gathering at the Regal Hongkong Hotel on December 17, 2016 to emulate the pioneering spirit of the forefathers.
