It wasn't until I saw the A4 paper that I realized I've only been interacting with everyone in the comments all this time and haven't made a post yet. I don't know what the future holds, so I'll post this as a keepsake. Back in university, adhering to the principle of "the brave enjoy the world first," I picked a period with fewer classes and endured an overnight green train to Shenzhen. Right after getting off the train early in the morning, I headed straight to Hong Kong to open a bank account, with only a few thousand dollars saved from frugal living and some lucky trades in the A-share market in my pocket. Initially, I used other brokerages. The interface was very retro, and the fees were quite luxurious. Later, I couldn't stand the $20 commission per trade anymore (which, quite touchingly, allowed me to buy "NVIDIA at $140" when it was at $120). Someone introduced me to Longbridge. I was hooked as soon as I joined. First, the interface is really clean, beautiful, and user-friendly (much better than many mainland brokerage interfaces, let alone those Y2K-style interfaces developed by foreigners). Second, the fee structure is truly attractive. I joined right during the "Lifetime Commission-Free" campaign, which significantly reduced trading costs. Furthermore, Longbridge's community atmosphere is very friendly. Nowadays, society is full of negativity, and comment sections on many social media platforms are filled with heated arguments. Longbridge, however, has none of that. People with different views and stances can coexist amicably (probably because everyone is voting with real money and speaking with their returns; there's no need to argue). After that, I attended classes/went to work during the day and watched the market on time every night. I have a relatively regular schedule. Trading US stocks means I can't watch the market live, so naturally, I don't do short-term trading, only medium to long-term. When I need to make a move, I place an order before going to sleep and check the next morning if last night's order was filled. Every time I open Longbridge and see my floating profit portfolio, it's like an old farmer looking at his carefully tended vegetable garden; the fatigue of the day dissipates by seventy to eighty percent. I've bought Intel at over $20, NVIDIA at $120, Alibaba at over $90, got allocated shares in Zijing International, and even perfectly timed the exit at the top for Xiaomi... When I'm not trading, I often surf the comment section, like an old farmer carrying his hoe, greeting his neighbors as he passes by the fields. I've met many big shots willing to share their views frequently: Jing Ye @京城Z先生, Value Brother @價值&投資, Gu Shen @股神小顧... It's just that this vegetable patch was suddenly declared off-limits for planting; it happened so abruptly and unexpectedly 😭 But thinking about it calmly, isn't this also one of the risks that investment entails? We have to learn to face it. If you're lazy or scared, don't envy others for being full. If you're unwilling to accept it, then find a way. Life finds its own way. As Uncle Feng (the owner of the WeChat public account "Memory Carrier") said, we must become "fishermen." "Fishermen don't know where the fish are before they set sail, but they still choose to depart." I've talked so much without realizing it. Due to well-known reasons, many things cannot be discussed in detail. No matter what the future holds, I sincerely wish everyone can make money wherever they are. Even in the worst-case scenario, if we have to part ways, I wish Longbridge all the best. Finally, a small suggestion for Longbridge's official account @Longbridge小喬: if it really comes to the point where trading is no longer possible, I hope Longbridge can also spin off a pure communication community, similar to Xueqiu, to keep everyone active. I'll really miss everyone 👌 ### Related Stocks - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [09988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09988.HK.md) - [01810.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01810.HK.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [BABA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABA.US.md) - [89988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/89988.HK.md) - [81810.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/81810.HK.md) - [XIACY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XIACY.US.md) - [KBAB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KBAB.US.md) - [BABO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABO.US.md) - [BABX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABX.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [QQQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QQQ.US.md) - [04335.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/04335.HK.md) - [HBBD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HBBD.SG.md) - [HXXD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HXXD.SG.md) ## Comments (52) - **惟谦皆吉 · 2026-05-28T08:38:45.000Z**: Wow, why is this post suddenly so 🔥😯 - **弹 · 2026-05-28T08:34:03.000Z · 👍 1**: Longbridge understands Chinese users best, providing players with full emotional value, but it's not suitable for short-term traders. - **天地一过客 · 2026-05-28T08:05:14.000Z**: Good for Starlink, good for Tesla. - **Ruiqun · 2026-05-28T06:32:55.000Z**: Impressive, you opened a Hong Kong bank account while still in university. Were the requirements more relaxed back then? It seems they're getting stricter and stricter. I only went to open one after working for over a year, last year. I had to prepare a whole bunch of documents at the time 😂 - **惟谦皆吉** (2026-05-28T08:42:09.000Z): It was indeed quite lenient back then. I originally intended to open an account with Bank of China, but the materials didn't meet the requirements. I then turned to HSBC, where you only needed to prov - **壹路** (2026-05-28T09:20:32.000Z): Mine too, it was sorted out quickly offline. - **Liang0730 · 2026-05-28T06:23:10.000Z · 👍 2**: Pick two to hold for now, and review within two years. There's nothing to be afraid of. If you want to trade, just take a ride to Hong Kong to operate and then come back. - **财来 · 2026-05-28T06:06:09.000Z · 👍 1**: Did you receive a notification about being cleared out? Or is it that trading is not allowed? - **方源千礼 · 2026-05-28T05:43:44.000Z · 👍 1**: Honestly, it's been over a year since I opened my Longbridge account, and I've learned a lot from the big shots in the forum. The losses I made in the A-share market, I've gotten them back here at Longbridge! I really hope there won't be a day when we part ways! - **辰毅小朋友 · 2026-05-28T05:40:34.000Z**: If it doesn't get congested, they've all gone. That place is no longer a stock market, but a shrinking market. Let's see in a year, no need to be too pessimistic. - **vvjane · 2026-05-28T05:32:47.000Z · 👍 1**: The Longbridge UI interface is truly impeccable, absolutely amazing, willing to pay this commission fee - **这次定要拿住你 · 2026-05-28T05:19:44.000Z · 👍 1**: Don't be afraid. Longbridge's system has been sold to many small brokerages for integration. In the future, there will be a bunch of small brokerages with interfaces similar to Longbridge's that you can open accounts with. There are two to three thousand of them in Hong Kong. What's there to be afra - **ganmouren · 2026-05-28T05:03:54.000Z**: Still prefer Longbridge - **广东黄毛二代 · 2026-05-28T05:03:29.000Z · 👍 4**: Although Schwab basically has zero fees, I'm really willing to pay this fee for Longbridge. I'm willing to let Longbridge see the day I go from a thousand U to a million. It's a pity there won't be this opportunity anymore in the future. If I get overseas status in the future, I'll still come back t - **霸都大牛 · 2026-05-28T05:03:01.000Z · 👍 1**: Don't move a single cent until there's a confirmed notification. - **股票小作手 · 2026-05-28T04:54:28.000Z · 👍 1**: Used it for two years, got used to it, and in the end, we still have to part. 😭😭 - **开心男人 · 2026-05-28T04:53:55.000Z · 👍 1**: Longbridge's interface is very user-friendly, simple, and convenient. Keep it up, Longbridge! - **[已注销] · 2026-05-28T04:49:44.000Z · 👍 1**: What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and add more Xiaomi to your position. - **空空郎君** (2026-05-28T04:53:12.000Z): 🤓🤓🤓 - **Trend Hunter** (2026-05-28T05:01:31.000Z): 6🤣 - **韭苗养成系** (2026-05-28T05:45:11.000Z): Is this Lei Jieshi? - **空空郎君 · 2026-05-28T04:35:38.000Z · 👍 13**: Longbridge's interface is indeed very clean and simple, which is the main reason I chose Longbridge.PS: Don't buy Chinese concept stocks! Remember that! - **Freeman_AA** (2026-05-28T04:51:27.000Z): I'd rather be a fisherman than a naive investor, not buying the A-share market or Chinese concept stocks. - **空空郎君** (2026-05-28T04:54:30.000Z): That's right! The A-share market is a garbage dump! - **新用户_8D6ASO** (2026-05-28T05:00:30.000Z): Chinese concept stocks are killing people, I'm trapped and won't add to my position. There's no hope of breaking even. - **悠然自在名 · 2026-05-28T04:29:41.000Z · 👍 1**: We can try to negotiate for only trading Hong Kong stocks. A blanket ban that doesn't even allow Hong Kong stocks is a bit unreasonable. - **再也不追高了** (2026-05-28T05:21:55.000Z): Hong Kong stocks are all trash. - **爱存钱的小海豹 · 2026-05-28T04:28:05.000Z · 👍 3**: 😭😭😭Finally found the reason why I lost so much money in the past two years, because I didn't use Longbridge
