Today, a girl from Hefei messaged me.

This is the best summer of her life.
On the day Changxin went public, the hotel where she was staying was filled with celebration banquets.
Following her boyfriend’s advice—her boyfriend works at Changxin—she used all her savings to buy Changxin stock, earning what amounts to six years’ salary in a single day.
This year, her wages have kept rising. Using the Changxin shares her boyfriend held as collateral, he took out a 30-year mortgage to buy a large apartment nearby.
Today, as she walked around in Hefei, everyone on the street suddenly stopped what they were doing and, without any prior plan, threw their arms around each other.
She said it felt as if humanity had entered a golden age.
