In a move that’s raising eyebrows and sparking debate on social media, a 24-year-old man from Hunan province, China, is openly admitting his persistent attempts to change his name are driven by a desire for fame.
Zhou Jingming, as he is currently identified on official documents, has publicly shared that his request to revert to his former name, “Zhuque Xuanwu” (a combination translating to Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, mythical creatures), has yet to be approved.
He has even posted correspondence from the Guiyang County Public Security Bureau in Chenzhou City, Hunan, detailing that this is his 11th formal name change application in the past 13 months. The authorities have flagged his repeated attempts as disruptive to public order and a drain on administrative resources.
“I will continue to apply for name changes. I want to gain attention through changing my name. I want to be famous, I enjoy being noticed, and even infamy is a form of recognition,” Zhou declared in his social media posts, underscoring a bold strategy for achieving notoriety.
Adding another layer to his public persona, Zhou is also on his third attempt at the notoriously competitive Gaokao, China’s national college entrance examination. His previous scores have been less than stellar, with his most recent attempt yielding a total of 246 points out of a possible 750. Specifically, his scores included 74 in Chinese, a mere 20 in Mathematics, 29 in Foreign Languages, 56 in Politics, 24 in History, and 43 in Geography.
