Your disclosure on page F-106 states that the board of directors and shareholders approved to issue 24,745,531 Class B ordinary shares to TECHWOLF LIMITED, controlled by Mr. Peng Zhao, Founder and CEO of the Group immediately after the listing of the Company’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 18, 19, 93 and 94 of Amendment No. 3 to disclose the amount of estimated share-based compensation expense that will be recognized upon the issuance of Class B ordinary shares to TECHWOLF LIMITED after the listing of the Company’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Company has also updated the pro forma net loss per share calculations on page 19 and 94 of Amendment No. 3 to include the impact from recognition of such share-based compensation expense.
