Identity

In early January 2022, netizens discovered that he likely used the previous screen name 学习之神18 and was an engineering student by the name of 朱乔粼. This information is not 100% verified, but du鸿儒 is quite certainly not his real name. The "du" prefix is short for "Baidu" and is shared by all mods. The user Top__Lee is believed to be another Baidu Kedou team member by the name du晓时.

A Weibo user was reported by someone with the last name 朱 Zhu for a post they made revealing that du鸿儒 and 学习之神18 were the same person.
