Inside were assembled more than 1,000 immigrants from Taiwan, the men in sharply tailored suits and the women resplendent in gorgeous array. There they set up the Hwa Hsia Society of New Zealand, the largest association of Chinese in the country's history, amid convivial toasts, laughter and conversation.
大樓外停滿賓士、富豪等高級轎車，裡面則聚集了一千多個台灣來的移民，男士西裝畢挺，女士服飾華麗，他們在此成立紐西蘭有史以來最大的一個華人團體「華夏協會」，會中杯觥交錯，充滿笑聲豪語。
