Great story. Never knew about Zoroastrian presence in China. But I'm wondering, is the average Chinese interested in history?
The Zoroastrianism was introduced to China since the era of Tang Dynasty, but since China has been destroyed twice by Mongol and Manchus, it will be hard for this particular to be well preserved, meanwhile Iran got converted into Islam, so it is even harder to maintain this link in China.
BTW, thanks to his novel, the existence of Zoroastrianism has become very well-known among the modern Chinese readers and viewers.
I read this novel, the author described Persian as multiracial culture, among three Persians appeared in the novel, one of them has blue eyes and blond hair, another one has some Middle Easterner appearance, the female looks similar to East Asian (indicating some Turkic ancestry).
And i can't believe those Anglo-Saxons/Zionists are so hostile towards Iranians, their novel/movie 300 is like describing the Aliens instead of Iranians.
