Today, a girl from Hefei sent me a message saying:

This is the best summer of her life since becoming an adult.
This year, Changxin went public, and the hotel where she works was filled with celebratory banquet tables.
She also followed what her boyfriend, who works at Changxin, told her to do—she took all her savings and bought shares of Changxin. In a single day, she earned five years’ worth of salary.
Her wages have kept rising this year. Her boyfriend took the Changxin shares in his hands as collateral, took out a 30-year mortgage, and bought a house nearby.
Today, while walking in Hefei, everyone on the street suddenly stopped what they were doing and, without planning it, hugged each other.
She said it felt as if humanity had entered a golden age.
