While you are in PRC, you can just go to the embassy of your country to renew your passport when it is going to expire. You don't have to make a new student X permit or new residence permit as long as your residence permit is still valid by then.

The duration of X1 is actually only for 30 days, so when you first enter PRC with this X1, you should apply for a residence permit within 30 days. The residence permit is normally valid for one year. Then you can renew it one month before the expiry date repeatedly during the next years. And this residence permit can allow you to exit and enter freely. No other documents are required.
