| Bai Lu's Former Classmate Shares Official Education Records as Academic Qualification Debate Continues. (Weibo) |
Bai Lu's educational background has become one of the most talked-about entertainment topics in China this week, with fresh discussions dominating trending charts despite her studio recently issuing multiple denials against separate rumours. The latest twist arrived when a former classmate shared official academic verification records and publicly vouched for the actress's character, turning what seemed like a straightforward clarification into another fiercely debated online talking point.
The discussion resurfaced after old claims regarding Bai Lu's academic record began circulating once again. Some online users argued that the actress had only completed a three-year vocational programme, while others maintained that she completed a recognised "3+2" pathway that ultimately resulted in a college diploma qualification.
As often happens on Chinese social media, a relatively straightforward question somehow evolved into a debate involving education systems, professional titles, application pathways and enough screenshots to keep internet detectives occupied for weeks.

Amid the growing speculation, one person claiming to be a former classmate of Bai Lu stepped forward publicly and shared their own educational records obtained through China's official academic verification platform, commonly known as Chsi.com.cn.
According to the classmate, the records demonstrate that the programme they completed was classified as a college diploma, often referred to as an associate degree qualification.

The former classmate did not stop at paperwork. In a lengthy statement, they also described Bai Lu as a determined student who constantly balanced studies with her ambitions.
According to the account, Bai Lu frequently travelled alone to Hangzhou to attend modelling auditions while still enrolled in school, regularly commuting between cities and participating in various competitions.
The classmate painted a picture of someone who was already pursuing opportunities long before becoming one of China's most recognisable television stars.
"At least the Bai Lu I knew was a very sincere, hardworking and motivated young woman," the classmate wrote, a comment that quickly attracted attention from supporters who felt the actress was being unfairly targeted.

The discussion gained another layer after online users pointed out that Bai Lu's former school had publicly mentioned her in a 2025 post, something many supporters viewed as further evidence that there was nothing unusual about her educational background.
For fans, the issue seemed relatively straightforward. For critics, however, the education debate was never really the main point. Many C-netz argued that the real question revolves around Bai Lu's Level 3 Actor Professional Title, which she obtained in 2024.

According to those questioning the process, their concerns are not focused on whether she completed a vocational programme or a college diploma. Instead, they are asking whether her qualifications and professional experience would normally allow her to obtain that title through standard evaluation channels.
Fans quickly responded with their own explanations. Several c-netz noted that Bai Lu reportedly applied through China's officially recognised "New Literary and Arts Organisations and New Literary and Arts Groups" pathway, commonly known online as the "Wenyi Liangxin" channel.

Under that route, applicants holding a college diploma and possessing sufficient years of professional experience can reportedly apply directly for a Level 3 Actor title without first obtaining a Level 4 title.
That clarification has done little to end the argument. If anything, it has simply created two competing camps armed with different interpretations, different screenshots and very different levels of confidence.

Cnetz argue that official records, statements from a former classmate and references from her former school collectively paint a consistent picture and believe the discussion should move beyond educational qualifications and focus exclusively on the professional title application process.
For now, the debate remains unresolved. Both supporters and critics believe their arguments hold weight, and neither side appears ready to back down. Some observers suggest that if Bai Lu's studio were ever to release comprehensive documentation relating to the qualification process, it could help settle many of the lingering questions.
