I change into new Passport before getting my Resident Permit.

I was admitted to study in China (Guangzhou) from March 2015 until January 2016. But my passport will be unvalid after December 2015. So I just made a new one, before I left for China. Unfortunately, my X1 Visa is already on the old passport.
Will it be possible for me to have the Resident Permit in my new passport if I bring the both passport at the PSB and explain the situation? It will be my first Resident Permit.

Thank you for your answer.
