Last prince of persia died around 700 in the West, still
fighting the Arabs wherever he could. His son-- who also became a
respected general in the Chinese army, wrote this in his
diary..
Pirooz requested only a simple burial and the Chinese
emperor approved. The entire exiled court was in attendance along
with the Chinese emperor. The Chinese emperor held Pirooz's shaking
hands. Pirooz looked west and said: "I have done what I could for
my homeland (Persia) and I have no regrets." Then, he looked east
and said: "I am grateful to China, my new homeland." Then he looked
at his immediate family and all the Persians in attendance and
said: "Contribute your talents and devote it to the emperor. We are
no longer Persians. We are now Chinese." Then, he died peacefully.
A beautiful horse was made to gallop around his coffin 33 times
before burial, because this was the number of military victories he
had during his lifetime. Pirooz was a great Chinese general and
great Persian prince devoted and loyal to his people.
