Chinese actor Jin Shijia unexpectedly found himself at the center of online buzz after a netizen reported finding his national ID card in a park in Shanghai's Xuhui district on Sunday. The topic rapidly trended on Weibo, drawing widespread public attention.
On Sunday afternoon, Jin's studio confirmed via an official Weibo post: "We have contacted the kind-hearted individual who found it. Thank you for the reminders. Please refrain from disseminating pictures or details of the document." The message concluded with practical advice: "Important documents should be securely stored – avoid casually carrying them in a pocket."
Despite the quick resolution, a detail from the circulated ID photo ignited discussion among netizens. The card, reportedly issued in 2013 and valid until 2033, showed Jin Shijia wearing black-framed glasses in his official portrait. This prompted numerous questions online: "Was wearing glasses allowed for ID photos taken in 2013?"
Addressing the public query, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau confirmed that while Jin Shijia's photo was taken 12 years ago, the standards for ID photographs at the time aligned with current regulations. Applicants are permitted to wear non-reflective glasses when taking their ID photos, a representative said.
