A girl from Hefei messaged me today.

This is the best summer of her life since she grew up.
This year, Changxin went public, and the hotel where she worked was lined with victory banquets.
She also listened to her boyfriend, who works at Changxin, and used all her savings to buy Changxin stock—she made the equivalent of five years’ salary in a single day.
This year her wages kept rising. Her boyfriend used the Changxin shares he held as collateral to take out a 30-year mortgage and buy a house nearby.
Today, as she was walking around Hefei, everyone on the street suddenly stopped what they were doing and, spontaneously, ended up hugging each other.
She said it felt as if humanity had entered a golden age.
