Parsis are living zoroastrians in India whose ancestors are Sassanian Persian. After the Arab invasion in the 7th century, they had to leave their homeland for keeping their ancient belief.After a long-time migration which might cost them about a thousand years, they managed to build up a new home along Indian western coast. Although Parsis are guests there, they took their opportunities in Indian colonial period between the 17 th and 18 th century, and made a great success on economic. Later, they have donated the majority of their fortune to social charity.There is quite a lack of study on Parsis in Chinese academic field where they have been mentioned instead of being taken as a main object. However, Parsis is a popular topic to discuss in foreign study where we can find a lot of monographs. Therefore, this article may focus on analysis about historical documents, with both Chinese and foreign monographs supporting, in order to solve three main problems: the Parsis journey from Iran to India, their economic rise during the time when European came to the East and the reason why they have great ambitious on benevolent matters. It is no coincidence that Parsis have integrated into Indian society which is well-known as a caste system and most of the Indian people speak highly of their achievement,though they came to India as refugee in the beginning. The author will have a deep research on this unfamiliar history so as to receive attention and further discuss.
