In reviewing the Documents and for the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed:

| (3) | the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness and fairness of all factual statements contained in the Documents;

| (4) | that the Documents have not been revoked, amended, varied or supplemented except as otherwise indicated in such Documents;

2

| (5) | that all information (including factual statements) provided to us by the Company and the PRC Subsidiary in response to our enquiries for the purpose of this opinion is true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that the Company and the PRC Subsidiary have not withheld anything that, if disclosed to us, would reasonably cause us to alter this opinion in whole or in part;

5. | Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, so far as PRC Laws are concerned:

| (1) | On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises, or the Trial Measures, which will become effective on March 31, 2023. Under the Trial Measures, domestic companies conducting overseas securities offering and listing activities, either in direct or indirect form, shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days following its submission of initial public offerings or listing application. The companies that have already been listed on overseas stock exchanges or have obtained the approval from overseas supervision administrations or stock exchanges for its offering and listing and will complete their overseas offering and listing prior to September 30, 2023 are not required to make immediate filings for its listing yet need to make filings for subsequent offerings in accordance with the Trial Measures. The companies that have already submitted an application for an initial public offering to overseas supervision administrations prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures but have not yet obtained the approval from overseas supervision administrations or stock exchanges for the offering and listing may arrange for the filing within a reasonable time period and should complete the filing procedure before such companies’ overseas issuance and listing.

3

In view of the above and based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws, the Offering will be identified as an indirect overseas issuance and listing of the PRC Subsidiary by CSRC, the Company shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Measures. the Company may not be able to complete the filing because the filing materials are incomplete or do not meet the requirements of the CSRC.

| (2) | Given that (i) the Measures for Cybersecurity Review provides that network platform operators and operators of critical information infrastructure shall subject to cybersecurity review under certain circumstances; (ii) the Article 4 of Personal Information Protection Law clearly defines personal information; To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry and as confirmed by the Company, during 2020, 2021 and as of the date of this Opinion, (i) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary operates any network platform or provides any network service for individual users, (ii) all the customers and suppliers of the PRC Subsidiary are enterprises, (iii) the Company and its PRC Subsidiary have possessed substantially less than 1 million users of personal information in their business operations, (iv) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary is recognized as an “operator of critical information infrastructure” by any authentic authority; (v) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary has been involved in any investigations initiated by the CAC, or received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect.

In view of the above and based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws, neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary is required to obtain permission from the CAC, to conduct its operations and the Offering (including offering securities to foreign investors). However, since the Measures for Cybersecurity Review was recently adopted, and there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to current and future PRC Laws, overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities, and there can be no assurance that the PRC Authorities will take a view that is not contrary to or otherwise different from our opinion stated above.

| (3) | To the best of our knowledge after due and reasonable inquiry, the statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities,” “Our Business,” “Regulation,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere insofar, to the extent that such statements describe or summarize PRC legal or regulatory matters, or documents, agreements or proceedings governed by PRC Laws, are true, accurate and correct in all material respects, and fairly present or fairly summarize in all material respects the PRC legal and regulatory matters, documents, agreements or proceedings referred to therein; and such statements do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact, and do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

There is no guarantee that any of the PRC Laws, or the interpretation thereof or enforcement therefor, will not be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retrospective effect.
