Today, a girl from Hefei sent me a message.

This is the best summer of her life as she’s grown up.
In this past year, Changxin went public. The hotel she was at was filled with celebratory banquets.
She also followed her boyfriend’s advice—he works at Changxin—and used all her savings to buy Changxin stock. In a single day, she earned five years’ worth of wages.
This year, her salary has kept rising. Her boyfriend took the Changxin shares he held and used them as collateral for a 30-year loan to buy a house nearby.
Today, walking around in Hefei, everyone on the street suddenly stopped what they were doing, and without planning it, they all hugged each other.
She said it felt as if humanity had entered a golden age.
