About this engagement

Prior to the Chuanzhi Education historic IPO, every listing of an education company on the A-share market had been completed through a backdoor-listing, quasi backdoor-listing, business transformation, or industry adjustment.

Chuanzhi Education's IPO not only opens a channel for future listings from the education sector in the A-share market, but also supports China's national strategies of "stabilizing employment", "strengthening the country through education", and "information-driven development".
