China held its college entrance exams (gaokao) on June 7th and 8th, a crucial test that determines students' choices for further studies and university admissions based on their results. The 17-year-old actress Amy was also a candidate this year. She rose to fame for her role in 'The Double' and climbed the ranks from supporting to leading roles. However, a fellow examinee claimed online that Amy refused to sign autographs or take photos, sneering that, 'she's not that famous but already has a big attitude'. In response, public opinion overwhelmingly criticized the person for not respecting the occasion, voicing support for the actress's focus on the exam.
A netizen wrote in large characters, 'Actress Amy, what an attitude,' and complained about meeting her at the exam venue, asking for an autograph, but Amy simply waved her hand to refuse. When asked, 'Then can we take a photo together?', she replied with a simple 'Sorry, I can’t' and briskly walked past the netizen. The post took a final jab: 'She barely interacted with any of us. Not much of a star but acts all high and mighty. Hope she fades into obscurity (using the homophone for 'won’t make it').'
The post drew even more criticism, with people commenting, 'How is this acting like a diva?', 'Are you kidding? Turning the college entrance exams into a celebrity signing event?', 'Why are you chasing stars in this kind of situation?', and 'She said sorry and refused—how is that being a diva? Refusing autographs or photos during the exams is normal.' Other netizens shared their own photos with Amy, clearing her name: 'How is she acting high and mighty? I happened to meet her in a coffee shop and she took a photo with me. She’s such a sweet girl. It’s the college entrance exam, lady—learn to read the room.' The original post has since been deleted. #
