On Sep. 13, actor Huang Xiaoming was spotted by social media users going through enrollment procedures at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. At the registration site, he was plainly dressed and quietly lined up to complete the process, shedding his celebrity aura and appearing like an ordinary new student. When asked how he felt about enrolling, Huang said, "I will study hard after enrollment. I enjoy the feeling of being back at school."
Born in 1977, Huang Xiaoming is 48 this year. He earned his undergraduate degree from the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy. Regarding his determination to pursue a doctorate, Huang has said in multiple interviews, "I want to be the first PhD in my family."
Last year, Huang applied for the first time to the Shanghai Theatre Academy's doctoral program in arts management/theatre planning, but unfortunately was not admitted. He did not give up, turned down many work commitments to focus on exam preparation, and succeeded on his second attempt this year, with a total score of 271.34.
On June 10 this year, the Shanghai Theatre Academy released its 2026 proposed doctoral admissions list, and actor Huang Xiaoming was included as a 2026 doctoral student.
