Today, a girl from Hefei messaged me.

This is the best summer of her life so far.
On the day Changxin went public, the hotel she was staying at was filled with tables set for a victory banquet.
She also followed her boyfriend’s advice—he works at Changxin—and took all her savings to buy Changxin stock. In a single day, she earned six years’ worth of wages.
This year, her salary has kept rising. Her boyfriend used the Changxin shares he held as collateral to take out a 30-year loan and bought a large apartment not far from there.
Today, as she walked around in Hefei, everyone on the street suddenly stopped what they were doing and, without planning it, hugged each other.
She said it felt like humanity had entered a golden age.
