Chinese actor Huynh Hieu Minh last year registered for a doctoral program at the Shanghai Drama Academy but unfortunately failed to pass.
However, he did not give up but spent another year focusing on studying and continuing to take the exam. This year, Huynh Hieu Minh finally passed the doctoral program in Art Management/Stage Planning.
On September 13, during the opening season of the Shanghai Drama Academy, Huynh Hieu Minh appeared at the school to complete admission procedures. The appearance of the male actor quickly attracted attention when many students recognized him.
Some new students shared images of catching Huynh Hieu Minh on the way to attend the opening ceremony. When doing procedures, the male actor wore a white shirt, black trousers, thin-rimmed glasses and held papers in his hand. Many students immediately took pictures with their phones, while school staff happily welcomed him.
After that, Huynh Hieu Minh changed into a black school t-shirt, put on a baseball cap of the same color and sat in the front row at the opening ceremony. After the ceremony, he also received interviews from the school's media and comfortably took photos with students.
People who accidentally met the actor gave him many compliments, commenting that Huynh Hieu Minh is friendly, discreet and approachable in real life. Some students also said that they only realized he was also present at school when they heard cheers.
The information that Huynh Hieu Minh passed the doctoral exam at the age of 48 quickly attracted attention on social networks. Many people wished him success in completing his studies, and expressed admiration for the actor's determination to study.
Previously, when interviewed after the first failed exam, Huynh Hieu Minh calmly said: "It's okay, if I don't get admitted this year, I can still try again next year.
Sharing about the reason for persistently taking the doctoral exam, the actor once humorously said that no one in his family has a doctorate, so he wants to be the first person: "I want to be the first person in my family to have a doctorate degree".
He also said: "I want to learn more. Management, literature and directing are all fields I want to learn about. The learning process makes me feel life richer and happier. I hope my life will become more and more fulfilling.
To achieve this result, Huynh Hieu Minh spent a lot of effort. He refused many film invitations to focus on re-examining. After a year of effort, he finally passed the exam, realizing his dream of studying for a doctorate.
