At that time, I suddenly found out that this influential Middle Eastern celebrity in front of me was only 1.60 meters tall, which is quite different from what I received in the PKU International Politics Classroom. In the following three years, as a photojournalist for the Xinhua News Agency Middle East Branch, I photographed Arafat several dozen times.
