it’s been revealed ever since actress Liu Hao Cun’s debut that her passport showed her date of birth as 1998/5/20. Her team initially tried to use 2000 as her public DOB but literally faced backlash as her Id passsport leaked after a lawsuit. And I provided this source under my citation on Wikipedia. If you would like to believe word of mouth instead of official government information on a passport, suit yourself.
it was also noted she started college in 2016 at the age of 18. Mabellazou2003 (talk) 12:08, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've taken her date of birth and the information about age controversy out of the article, as neither IMDb or inf.news (iNews) are reliable sources. See discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard here. Tacyarg (talk) 10:50, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I assume you're not able to read Chinese and look up Chinese websites? Liu Haocun deputed in 2018 in one second, however that movie's release date got postponed and wasn't on screen until 2020. In 2021, her passport number was first released under the entertainment company she registered herself at and it shows 1998/5/20; that's when it first circled that she was in age fraud. In 2024, she went through a major legal lawsuit in China, and the Court Verdict from the Highest court of the People's Republic of China stated her official date of Birth as May 20, 1998.

In fact,all of her legal documents states 1998, and all Chinese netizens know it, some fans just claimed her parents registered her 2 years older when she was first born, which is quite ridiculous. Mabellazou2003 (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not an exposé site for original research WP:NOR, allegations that has no reliable, published source should not be included. We should just remove her DOB if there's no consensus.
Could you find any other secondary mainstream news sources to corroborate this birth date claim (or a direct link to any reportage of the government court case perhaps)? You may want to check out WP:RSP or its Chinese equivalent for a list of a acceptable news sources.
The source you cited (inf.news) is a content farm that loosely translates Chinese user-generated gossip accounts (on Toutiao and 163) as factual news, without any editorial oversight. Douban itself was originally user-generated like IMDb in the 2000s; its entertainment interest group forums have, in the last decade, become a cesspool for fan wars and the origin of many malicious smear campaigns. Both inf.news and douban group forums are extremely unreliable sources for encyclopedic use.
I already removed the inf. news source and replaced it with the source of the Court Verdict of the peoples republic of China. Liu HaoCun's Chinese Wikiepdia page listed her legal age as 1998/05/20. What else do you need?

You have no solid proof that she was born in 2000 except she herself and her team explained to use 2000. 90% actresses wanted to be younger in the industry. She used 2000 when she first debut but Chinese netizens only got to know her real DOB 1998 after the lawsuit broke out and was in public eye. She also has to her birth certificate and passport information when registrations for her company; and it was 1998/5/20. If you want to believe word of an actress instead of an official passport then suit yourself. She is legally 1998/5/20. She tried to hide it. Mabellazou2003 (talk) 14:47, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the picture of Douban is a picture of the court verdict of the PRC; I assume you don't read Chinese? The picture was also posted on XInLang Weibo besides Douban in 2022 as the Court Verdict of the legal lawsuit of LIU broke out. She is 1998/05/20 on paper everywhere.

Hello,
the picture on the website of Douban is a picture of the court verdict of the PRC; I assume you don't read Chinese? The picture was also posted on XInLang Weibo besides Douban in 2022 as the Court Verdict of the legal lawsuit of LIU broke out. She is 1998/05/20 on paper everywhere. Mabellazou2003 (talk) 15:03, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Sina article you cited is merely quoting the allegations, posting unverified screen captures from the notorious Douban gossip group forum. We have no idea if the picture of the court verdict is doctored, since there is no link provided. Not to mention Sina News and Beijing Youth Daily are both news aggregators that post user-generated content, and not a WP:RS on English and Chinese Wikipedia. And no, the Chinese Wikipedia does not currently list her as being born in 1998 as you have claimed.
I am asking in good faith, if you have any other reliable secondary source for a contentious claim like this besides douban? Since you said this piece of information is widely known among Chinese internet users, I am sure you can find reportage of it on mainstream media such as China Daily, Guangming Daily, The Paper, Wenhui Bao, Yangtse Evening News and such, which, despite being state-controlled, has some degree of editorial oversight.

On Baidu which is Chinese wikipedia, it states that she is legally 1998/5/20 , however her team claims she is 2000/5/20; so both age are listed. But she is legally 1998. She started College in 2016, and the youngest age to be admitted to that school is at least 17. Mabellazou2003 (talk) 19:39, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
