The teacher was curious after reading audience comments regarding the number of kiss scenes in the drama and asked Zhang Linghe directly. In the circulating chat screenshots, the teacher affectionately calls Zhang Linghe by the pet name “Xiao Bao” or Little Treasure.
This nickname stands in sharp contrast to his gallant image as Marquis Wu’an in the historical drama Pursuit of Jade. Zhang Linghe’s response was very adorable, allowing fans to imagine his playful expression when answering the question.
Other teaching staff at Zhang Linghe’s high school alma mater also shared memories of the actor during his school days. According to them, Zhang Linghe was a cheerful young man, not cold, and always full of smiles for everyone.
“He had an excellent personality and would even help the teachers look after their children at school,” one source shared regarding the star’s humble nature.
In addition to being known as an outstanding student who could study with ease, Zhang Linghe apparently had a unique obstacle in class. His legs were too long for the school desks, causing him to often feel uncomfortable while sitting.
Teachers also confirmed that he had been an idol for many female students since his high school days. Many girls actively pursued him because of his good looks and engaging personality.
To this day, Zhang Linghe continues to be praised for his clean past record without any scandals. He successfully maintained a positive reputation long before he decided to enter the entertainment industry.
