securities may not be sold until the registration statement filedwith the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell nor does it seek an offer to buy these securitiesin any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUSSubject to Completion,dated American Depositary Shares QuantaSing Group LimitedRepresenting Class A Ordinary Shares This is an initial public offering of American Depositary Shares(“ADSs”)by QuantaSing Group Limited.Each ADS represents of ourClass A ordinary shares,par value US$0.0001 per share.We anticipate that the initial public offering price per ADS will be between US$and US$.Prior to this offering,there has been no public market for the ADSs.We have applied to list the ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market,under the symbol“QSG.”Immediately prior to the completion of this offering,our issued and outstanding share capital will consist of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.Mr.Peng Li,our founder,chairman and chief executive officer,will beneficially own all of such issued Class B ordinary shares and will be able to exercise%of thetotal voting power of such issued and outstanding share capital immediately following the completion of this offering,assuming that the underwriters do not exercisetheir option to purchase additional ADSs.Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights.Holder of each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote,and holder of each Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten votes.At the option of the holder of Class Bordinary shares,each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time.Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinaryshares under any circumstances.For further information,see“Description of Share Capital.”We are an“emerging growth company”as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012,as amended,and,as such,may elect to comply withcertain reduced public company reporting requirements in future reports after the completion of this offering.Upon the completion of this offering,we will be a“controlled company”as defined under corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market,becauseMr.Peng Li,our founder,chairman and chief executive officer,will beneficially own%of our then issued and outstanding ordinary shares and will be able toexercise%of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares immediately after the consummation of this offering,assuming theunderwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs.As a result,Mr.Peng Li will have the ability to control or significantly influence the outcome ofmatters requiring approval by shareholders.For further information,see“Principal Shareholders”and“Risk Factor Risks Related to the ADSs and this Offering We will be a“controlled company”within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and,as a result,may rely on exemptions from certain corporategovernance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.”QuantaSing Group Limited is a Cayman Islands holding company and not a Chinese operating company.We carry out our business in China through our wholly-owned PRC subsidiary(“WFOE”)and its contractual arrangements,commonly known as the VIE structure,with a variable interest entity(the“VIE”)and its subsidiaries(collectively,the“affiliated entities”)based in China.The VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companieswhere the PRC law restricts direct foreign investment in certain operating companies,such as certain value-added telecommunication services and other internet relatedbusiness.Neither QuantaSing Group Limited nor our WFOE owns any equity interests in the affiliated entities.Our contractual arrangements with the VIE and itsnominee shareholder are not equivalent of an investment in the equity interest of the VIE,and investors may never hold equity interests in the Chinese operatingcompanies,including the affiliated entities.Instead,we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entitiesunder U.S.GAAP in light of the VIE structure.Investors in the ADSs are purchasing the equity securities of QuantaSing Group Limited,the Cayman Islands holdingcompany,rather than the equity securities of the affiliated entities.As used in this prospectus,“we,”“us,”“our company,”“our,”“QuantaSing,”or“QuantaSing Group”refers to QuantaSing Group Limited,together as a group with its subsidiaries,and,in the context of describing the substantive operations and financial informationrelating to such operations of QuantaSing Group Limited and its subsidiaries and the affiliated entities as a whole,refers to QuantaSing Group Limited and itssubsidiaries and the affiliated entities.The VIE structure involves unique risks to investors in the ADSs.It may not provide effective operational control over theaffiliated entities and also faces risks and uncertainties associated with,among others,the interpretation and the application of the current and future PRC laws,regulations and rules to such contractual arrangements.As of the date of this prospectus,the agreements under the contractual arrangements among our WFOE,the VIEand its nominee shareholder have not been tested in a court of law.If the PRC regulatory authorities find these contractual arrangements non-compliant with therestrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries,or if the relevant PRC laws,regulations and rules or their interpretation change in the future,we couldbe subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in the VIE or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements.The PRC regulatory authoritiescould disallow the VIE structure at any time in the future,which would cause a material adverse change in our operations and cause the value of our securities youinvested in this offering to significantly decline or become worthless.For further information,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to doing business in China as we,through our WFOE and the affiliated entities,conduct ouroperations in China.We are subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations in China.The PRC government has indicated an intent to exert more oversight andcontrol over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers,and initiated various regulatory actions and made various publicstatements,some of which are published with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,enhancing supervision overChina-based companies listed overseas,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.Forinstance,we face risks associated with regulatory approvals on overseas offerings and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy,which may impact our ability toconduct certain business,accept foreign investments,or list and conduct offerings on a U.S.or other foreign stock exchange.These risks could result in a materialadverse change in our operations and the value of the ADSs,significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors,orcause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”We are subject to a number of prohibitions,restrictions and potential delisting risk under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act(the“HFCAA”).Pursuant to the HFCAA and related regulations,if we have filed an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that the Public Company AccountingOversight Board(the“PCAOB”)has determined that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely,the Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”)willidentify us as a“Commission-identified Issuer,”and the trading of our securities on any U.S.national securities exchange,as well as any over-the-counter trading in theUnited States,will be prohibited if we are identified as a Commission-identified Issuer for three consecutive years.There have been various initiatives to reduce thenumber of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three to two years.On June 22,2021,the U.S.Senate passeda bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act to that effect,and on February 4,2022,the United States House of Representatives passeda bill which contained,among others,an identical provision.If this provision is enacted into law,our shares and ADSs could be prohibited from trading in the UnitedStates if we are identified as a Commission-identified Issuer for two consecutive years.In August 2022,the PCAOB,the China Securities Regulatory Commission(the“CSRC”)and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC signed a Statement of Protocol(the“Statement of Protocol”),which establishes a specific and accountable frameworkfor the PCAOB to conduct inspections and investigations of PCAOB-governed accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong.On December 15,2022,the2022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm4/364PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China andHong Kong completely in 2022.The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 20212022/12/22Form

securities may not be sold until the registration statement filedwith the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell nor does it seek an offer to buy these securitiesin any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong.However,whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainlandChina and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditors control.The PCAOB continues to demand completeaccess in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond,as well as to continue pursuingongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed.The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue newdeterminations with the HFCAA if needed.If the PCAOB is unable to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in China and we failto retain another registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB is able to inspect and investigate completely in 2023 and beyond,or if we otherwise fail to meet thePCAOBs requirements,the ADSs will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market,and our shares and ADSs will not be permitted for trading over the counter in theUnited States under the HFCAA and related regulations.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China The ADSs will be delisted andour shares and ADSs will be prohibited from trading in the over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable toinspect or investigate completely auditors located in China for three consecutive years or,if proposed changes to the law are enacted,for two consecutive years.Thedelisting of the ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.”Cash may be transferred

our WFOE under the contractual arrangements was RMB204.1 million,RMB239.6 million,RMB13.0 million,and RMB60.5 million,respectively.As of June 30,2021 and 2022 and September 30,2022,(1)the aggregate

million,respectively,inaddition to the service fees paid under the contractual arrangements.For the three months ended September 30,2022,the net cash repaid by our WFOE to the VIE wasRMB25.8 million.In the fiscal years ended June 30,2021 and 2022,except as disclosed above,there was no other cash transfer within our organization,and no assetsother than cash were transferred within our organization.As of the date of this prospectus,none of QuantaSing Group Limited,our WFOE and the VIE has paid anydividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholder(s),including any U.S.investors.For details,see“Prospectus Summary Summary ConsolidatedFinancial and Operating Data Consolidated Financial Statements,”“Prospectus Summary Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data FinancialInformation Relating to the Affiliated Entities”and“Prospectus Summary Implications of Being a Company with the Holding Company Structure and the VIEStructure Cash and asset flows through our organization.”We expect to continue to distribute earnings and settle the service fees owed under the VIE agreements atthe request of our WFOE and based on our business needs,and we do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.We currently have not maintained anycash management policies that specifically dictate how funds shall be transferred among QuantaSing Group Limited,the subsidiaries of QuantaSing Group Limited(including our WFOE),the affiliated entities and investors.We will determine the payment of dividends and fund transfer based on our specific business needs inaccordance with the applicable laws and regulations.See“Prospectus Summary Dividend Distribution and Taxation.”To the extent our cash or assets in the business are in mainland China or Hong Kong or a mainland China or Hong Kong entity,the funds or assets may not beavailable to fund operations or for other use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on theability of QuantaSing Group Limited,our subsidiaries or the affiliated entities to transfer cash or assets.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility ofRMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of funds out of China,which may restrict the transfer of cash between QuantaSing Group Limited,our subsidiaries,theaffiliated entities or the investors.Under PRC laws and regulations,our WFOE and the affiliated entities are subject to certain restrictions with respect to payment ofdividends or otherwise transfers of any of their net assets to us.Remittance of dividends by our WFOE out of China is also subject to certain procedures with the banksdesignated by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange.These restrictions are benchmarked against the paid-up capital and the statutory reserve funds of ourWFOE and the net assets of the VIE in which we have no legal ownership.While there are currently no such restrictions on foreign exchange and our ability to transfercash or assets between QuantaSing Group Limited and our Hong Kong subsidiary,if certain PRC laws and regulations,including existing laws and regulations and thoseenacted or promulgated in the future were to become applicable to our Hong Kong subsidiary in the future,and to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or aHong Kong entity,such funds or assets may not be available due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on our ability to transfer funds orassets by the PRC government.Furthermore,we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on QuantaSing Group Limited,itssubsidiaries and the affiliated entities to transfer or distribute cash within the organization,which could result in an inability of or prohibition on making transfers ordistributions to entities outside of mainland China and Hong Kong.For details,see“Prospectus Summary Implications of Being a

risksQuantaSing Group Limited is a Cayman Islands holding company with no substantive operations.We carry out our business through ourWFOE and its contractual arrangements,commonly known as the VIE structure,with the VIE based in China and its nominee shareholder,due tothe PRC regulatory restrictions on direct foreign investment in certain value-added telecommunication services and other internet related business.Investors in the ADSs are purchasing the equity securities of QuantaSing Group Limited,the Cayman Islands holding company,rather than theequity securities of the affiliated entities in which our operations are conducted.The VIE structure was established through a series of agreements entered into between our WFOE,the VIE and its nominee shareholder,comprising a voting rights proxy agreement,an equity pledge agreement,an exclusive consultancy and service agreement and an exclusive optionagreement.The contractual arrangements allow us to(1)be considered as the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes andconsolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities,(2)receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the affiliated entities,(3)have thepledge right over the equity interests in the VIE as the pledgee,and(4)have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in theVIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.For details,see“Corporate History and Structure.”However,neither QuantaSing Group Limited nor our WFOE owns any equity interests in the affiliated entities.Our contractual arrangementswith the VIE and its nominee shareholder are not equivalent of an investment in the equity interest of the affiliated entities.Instead,as describedabove,we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities under U.S.GAAP inlight of the VIE structure.The VIE structure involves unique risks to investors in the ADSs.It may be less effective than direct ownership in providing us withoperational control over the VIE or its subsidiaries and we may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements.For instance,theVIE and its shareholder could breach their contractual arrangements with us by,among other things,failing to conduct the operations of the VIE inan acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests.If we had direct ownership of the VIE in China,we would be ableto exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of the VIE,which in turn could implement changes,subject to anyapplicable fiduciary obligations,at the 82022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm18/364Table of Contentsmanagement and operational level.However,under the current contractual arrangements,we rely on the performance by the VIE and itsshareholder of their obligations under the contracts to direct the VIEs activities.The shareholder of the VIE may not act in the best interests of ourcompany or may not perform its obligations under these contracts.If any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved,we will have toenforce our rights under these contracts through the operations of PRC law and arbitration,litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore willbe subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system.We may face challenges in enforcing the contractual arrangements due to jurisdictional and legal limitations.There are substantialuncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws,regulations and rules regarding the status of the rights ofour Cayman Islands holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholder through our WFOE.As of the date of this prospectus,the agreements under the contractual arrangements among our WFOE,the VIE and its nominee shareholder havenot been tested in a court of law.It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to VIE structures will be adopted or,if adopted,what they would provide.If we or the VIE is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations or fail to obtain or maintainany of the required licenses,permits,registrations or approvals,the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take actionin dealing with such violations or failures.The PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the VIE structure at any time in the future.If the PRCgovernment deems that our contractual arrangements with the VIE do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in therelevant industries,or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future,we could besubject to severe penalties and may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements,or be forced to relinquish our interests in thoseoperations.Our Cayman Islands holding company,our subsidiaries,the affiliated entities,and investors in our securities(including the ADS)faceuncertainty with respect to potential future actions by the PRC government that could affect the enforceability of the contractual arrangements withthe VIE and,consequently,significantly affect the financial performance of our company and the affiliated entities as a whole.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”Revenues contributed by the affiliated entities accounted for substantially all of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30,2021 and2022 and the three months ended September 30,2022.For a condensed consolidation schedule depicting the results of operations,financialposition and cash flows for us,our WFOE and the VIE,see“Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data”and“ManagementsDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”For details of the permissions and licenses required for operating ourbusiness in China and the related limitations,see“Regulatory Permissions and Licenses for Our Operations in China and This Offering”and“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business and Industry We may face risks and uncertainties with respect to the licensing requirement forour business.Any lack of or failure to maintain requisite approvals,licenses or permits applicable to us may have a material and adverse impact onour business,results of operations and financial condition.”Cash and asset flows through our organizationIn light of our holding company structure and the VIE structure,our ability to pay dividends to the shareholders,including the investors in theADSs,and to service any debt we may incur may highly depend upon dividends paid by our WFOE to us and service fees paid by the affiliatedentities to our WFOE,despite that we may obtain financing at the holding company level through other methods.For instance,if any of our WFOEor the VIE incurs debt on its own behalf in the future,the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to us and theinvestors in the ADS as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under the contractual arrangements.As of the date of this prospectus,none ofQuantaSing Group Limited,our WFOE and the VIE has paid any dividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholder(s),includingany U.S.investors.In the fiscal years ended June 30,2021 and 2022,the total amount of the service fees that the VIE paid to our WFOE under thecontractual arrangements was RMB204.1 million and RMB239.6 million,respectively.For details,see 92022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm19/364Table of Contents“Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data Financial Information Relating to the Affiliated Entities.”We expect to continue todistribute earnings and settle the service fees owed under the VIE agreements at the request of our WFOE and based on our business needs,and donot expect to declare dividend in the foreseeable future.We currently have not maintained any cash management policies that specifically dictatehow funds shall be transferred among QuantaSing Group Limited,the subsidiaries of QuantaSing Group Limited(including our WFOE),theaffiliated entities and investors.We will determine the payment of dividends and fund transfer based on our specific business needs in accordancewith the applicable laws and regulations.Under PRC laws and regulations,our WFOE is permitted to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings,if any,as determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.Furthermore,our WFOE and the affiliated entities are required to make appropriationsto certain statutory reserve funds or may make appropriations to certain discretionary funds,which are not distributable as cash dividends except inthe event of a solvent liquidation of the companies.Remittance of dividends by our WFOE out of China is also subject to certain procedures withthe banks designated by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange(“SAFE”).These restrictions are benchmarked against the paid-upcapital and the statutory reserve funds of our WFOE and the net assets of the VIE in which we have no legal ownership.In addition,while there arecurrently no such restrictions on foreign exchange and our ability to transfer cash or assets between QuantaSing Group Limited and our Hong Kongsubsidiary,if certain PRC laws and regulations,including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future were tobecome applicable to our Hong Kong subsidiary in the future,and to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or a Hong Kong entity,suchfunds or assets may not be available due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on our ability to transfer funds or assetsby the PRC government.Furthermore,we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on QuantaSingGroup Limited,its subsidiaries and the affiliated entities to transfer or distribute cash within the organization,which could result in an inability ofor prohibition on making transfers or distributions to entities outside of mainland China and Hong Kong.For details,see“Risk Factors RisksRelated to Doing Business in China We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our WFOE to fund any cash and financingrequirements we may have,and any limitation on the ability of our WFOE to make payments to

and approval requirements.As ofJune 30,2021 and 2022,and September 30,2022,(1)the aggregate amount of capital contribution by EW Technology Limited to our subsidiariesin the BVI and Hong Kong was

Financial Information Relating to the Affiliated Entities.”Under the Cayman Islands laws,QuantaSing Group Limited is not subject to tax on income or capital gains.Upon payments of dividends toour shareholders,no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.For purposes of illustration,the following discussion reflects thehypothetical taxes that might be required to be paid in mainland China and Hong Kong,assuming that:(1)we have taxable earnings in the VIE and(2)we determine to pay a dividend in the future:Tax calculation(1)Hypothetical pre-tax earnings(2)100.0%Tax on earnings at statutory rate of 25%(3)(25.0)%Net earnings available for distribution 75.0%Withholding tax at standard rate of 10%(4)(7.5)%Net distribution to shareholders 67.5%(1)For purposes of this hypothetical example,the tax calculation has been simplified.The hypothetical book pre-tax earnings amount is assumedto equal PRC taxable income.(2)For purposes of this hypothetical example,the table above reflects a maximum tax scenario under which the full statutory rate would beeffective.(3)PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules impose a withholding income tax of 10%on dividends distributed by a foreigninvested enterprise in China to its immediate holding company outside China.A lower withholding income tax rate of 5%is applied if theforeign invested enterprises immediate holding company is registered in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions that have a tax treaty arrangementwith China,subject to a qualification review at the time of the distribution.There is no incremental tax at Hong Kong level for any dividenddistribution to QuantaSing Group Limited.(4)If a 10%withholding income tax rate is imposed,the withholding tax will be 7.5%and the amount to be distributed as dividend at HongKong level and the net distribution to QuantaSing Group Limited will be 67.5%.The table above has been prepared under the assumption that all profits of the VIE will be distributed as fees to our WFOE under tax neutralcontractual arrangements.If,in the future,the accumulated earnings of the VIE exceed the service fees paid to our WFOE(or if the current andcontemplated fee structure between the inter-group entities is determined to be non-substantive and disallowed by PRC tax authorities),the VIEcould make a non-deductible transfer to our WFOE for the amounts of the stranded cash in the VIE.This would result in such transfer beingnon-deductible expenses for the VIE but still taxable income for our WFOE.Such a transfer and the related tax burdens would reduce our after-taxincome to approximately 50.6%of the pre-tax income.Our management believes that there is only a remote possibility that this scenario wouldhappen.112022/12/22Form

Limited,our WFOE and the VIE has paid any dividends or made anydistributions to their respective shareholder(s),including any U.S.investors,nor do we have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on ourordinary shares in the foreseeable future.We currently intend to retain most,if not all,of our available funds and any future earnings to operate andexpand our business.See“Dividend Policy”for details.Subject to the“passive foreign investment company”rules,the gross amount of any distribution that we make to a U.S.Holder(as defined in“Taxation United States Federal Income Taxation”)with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares(including any amounts withheld toreflect PRC withholding taxes)will be taxable as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes,to the extent paid out of our current oraccumulated earnings and profits,as determined under United States federal income tax principles.In addition,if we are considered a PRC taxresident enterprise for tax purposes,any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a resultmay be subject to PRC withholding tax.See“Taxation”for details.Regulatory Permissions and Licenses for Our Operations in China and This OfferingWe,through our WFOE and the affiliated entities,conduct our operations in China.Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws andregulations.We and the affiliated entities are required to obtain certain licenses,permits and approvals from relevant governmental authorities inChina in order to operate our business and conduct this offering.As of the date of this prospectus,as advised by our PRC counsel,CM Law Firm,our WFOE and the affiliated entities have obtained the licenses,permits and registrations from the PRC government authorities necessary for ourbusiness operations in China,including,among others,the Value-added Telecommunications Business Operating License for internet informationservice,the Permit for Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs,and the Publication Operation License,except for the Licensefor Online Transmission of Audio-Visual Program for offering certain courses in live streaming or audio-visual contents.Given the uncertainties ofinterpretation and implementation of relevant laws and regulations and the enforcement practice by relevant government authorities,and thepromulgation of new laws and regulations and amendment to the existing ones,we may be required to obtain additional licenses,permits,registrations,filings or approvals for our business operations in the future.For instance,we or the affiliated entities may be required to obtain theOnline Publishing Service License for our online learning services.We cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities will be able to obtain,ina timely manner or at all,or maintain such licenses,permits or approvals,and we or the affiliated entities may also inadvertently conclude that suchpermissions or approvals are not required.Any lack of or failure to maintain requisite approvals,licenses or permits applicable to us or theaffiliated entities may have a material adverse impact on our business,results of operations,financial condition and prospects and cause the valueof any securities we offer to significantly decline or become worthless.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business andIndustry We may face risks and uncertainties with respect to the licensing requirement for our business.Any lack of or failure to maintainrequisite approvals,licenses or permits applicable to us may have a material and adverse impact on our business,results of operations and financialcondition.”On December 28,2021,the CAC and other twelve PRC regulatory authorities jointly revised and promulgated the Measures forCybersecurity Review(the“Cybersecurity Review Measures”),which became effective on February 15,2022.See“Regulation Regulations onInternet Information Security and Censorship.”As a network platform operator who possesses personal information of more than one million usersfor purposes of the Cybersecurity Review Measures,we have applied for and completed a cybersecurity review for this offering and listingpursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.The review was completed in August 2022.We have not received any material adverse findings insuch review.122022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm22/364Table of ContentsOn December 24,2021,the CSRC released the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering andListing by Domestic Companies(Draft for Comments)and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listingby Domestic Companies(Draft for Comments)(the“Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”).See“Regulation Regulations on M&A andOverseas Listings.”As of the date of this prospectus,as advised by our PRC counsel,CM Law Firm,considering that(1)the Draft RulesRegarding Overseas Listing has not come into effect;and(2)no explicit provision under currently effective PRC laws,regulations and rules clearlyrequires an offering with contractual arrangements like ours to obtain approvals from the CSRC,we or the affiliated entities are not required toobtain an approval from the CSRC in connection with this offering and listing.Except as disclosed above,we or the affiliated entities have not been requested to obtain or denied any license or permission from anygovernment authority in China in connection with the VIEs operations or this offering as of the date of this prospectus.However,the PRC regulatory authorities,including the CSRC,may adopt new laws,rules and regulations,or detailed implementation andinterpretation of the current applicable PRC laws,rules and regulations,and we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC regulatory authorities,including the CSRC,would reach the same conclusion as us or our PRC counsel.Furthermore,the PRC government has recently indicated anintent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas by and foreign investment in China-based issuers.Forinstance,the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing stipulates that the China-based companies,or the issuer,shall fulfill the filing procedureswithin three working days after the issuer makes an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market.In addition,an overseasoffering and listing is prohibited under any of certain circumstances,including,among others,prohibition by national laws and regulations andrelevant provisions,threatening to or endangering national security,material violation of laws by the company or its controllers or its directors,supervisors,or senior executives.If the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing were to be implemented as proposed in its current form before thisoffering and listing is completed,we might be subject to the filing requirements with the CSRC for this offering and listing and might also beprohibited from completing this offering if any of the circumstances described in the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing occurs.Moreover,asthe Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing has not come into effect,there remains uncertainty in the final form and the interpretation andimplementation of such overseas listing rules,and we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities,including the CSRC,wouldnot promulgate new rules or new interpretation of current rules to require us or the affiliated entities to obtain CSRC or other PRC governmentapprovals or complete other compliance procedures for this offering.We cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities would be able to obtainsuch approvals or complete such other compliance procedures,to the extent that they may be subsequently required by the relevant regulatoryauthorities,in a timely manner,or at all,or that any completion of review or approval or other compliance procedures would not be rescinded,inwhich case we may face regulatory sanctions for failure to complete the requisite compliance procedures or obtain the requisite approvals for thisoffering.If any of such event occurs,it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete this offering or launch any newoffering of our securities and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing business in China Recent regulatory development in China may exert more oversight and control over listing andofferings that are conducted overseas.The approval of the CSRC may be required in connection with this offering and our future capital raisingactivities,and,if required,we cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities will be able to obtain such approval,in which case we may faceregulatory sanctions for failure to obtain such approval for this offering and our future capital raising activities”and“Risk Factors Risks Relatedto Doing business in China Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data

Accountable ActThe HFCAA was enacted on December 18,2020.Pursuant to the HFCAA and related regulations,if we have filed an audit report issued by aregistered public accounting firm that the PCAOB has determined that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely,the SEC will identify us asa“Commission-identified Issuer,”and the trading of our securities on any U.S.national securities exchanges,as well as any over-the-countertrading in the United States,will be prohibited if we are identified as a Commission-identified Issuer for three consecutive years.There have beenvarious initiatives to reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from threeto two years.On June 22,2021,the U.S.Senate passed a bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act to thateffect,and on February 4,2022,the United States House of Representatives passed a bill which contained,among others,an identical provision.Ifthis provision is enacted into law and the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA isreduced from three to two years,then our shares and ADSs could be prohibited from trading in the United States.In August 2022,the PCAOB,theCSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC signed the Statement of Protocol,which establishes a specific and accountable framework for thePCAOB to conduct inspections and investigations of PCAOB-governed accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firmsheadquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022.The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 2021 determinations that thePCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong.However,whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firmsheadquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditorscontrol.The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resumeregular inspections in early 2023 and beyond,as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed.ThePCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.If the PCAOBis unable to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in China and we fail to retain another registered publicaccounting firm that the PCAOB is able to inspect and investigate completely in 2023 and beyond,or if we otherwise fail to meet the PCAOBsrequirements,the ADSs will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market,and our shares and ADSs will not be permitted for trading over the counterin the United States under the HFCAA and related regulations.The related risks and uncertainties could cause the value of the ADSs tosignificantly decline or become worthless.For details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China The ADSs will bedelisted and our shares and ADSs will be prohibited from trading in the over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign CompaniesAccountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely auditors located in China for three consecutive years or,if proposedchanges to the law are enacted,for two consecutive years.The delisting of the ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially andadversely affect the value of your investment.”Implications of Being an Emerging Growth CompanyAs a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year,we qualify as an“emerging growth company”pursuant to theJumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012,as amended(the“JOBS Act”).An emerging growth company may take advantage of specifiedreduced reporting and other requirements compared to those that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.These provisions includeexemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growthcompanys internal control over financial reporting.The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply withany new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revisedaccounting standards.Pursuant to the JOBS Act,we have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this 142022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm24/364Table of Contentsextended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.As a result,our operating results and financial statements maynot be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards.We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of(1)the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual grossrevenues of at least US$1.07 billion;(2)the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering;(3)the dateon which we have,during the preceding three-year period,issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt;or(4)the date on which we aredeemed to be a“large accelerated filer”under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended(the“Exchange Act”)which would occur if wehave been a public company for at least 12 months and the market value of the ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as ofthe last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.Once we cease to be an emerging growth company,we will not beentitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act as discussed above.Implications of Being a Controlled CompanyWe will be a“controlled company”as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules because Mr.Peng Li,our founder,chairman andthe chief executive officer,will hold%of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and will be able to exercise%of the total votingpower of our issued and outstanding share capital upon the completion of this offering,assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their optionto purchase additional ADSs,or%of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and%of the total voting power of our issued andoutstanding share capital upon the completion of this offering,assuming that the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs infull.As a result,Mr.Peng Li will have the ability to control or significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring approval by shareholders.For so long as we remain as a“controlled company,”we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements,including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors.We do not currently plan to utilize theexemptions available for controlled companies after we complete this offering,but instead,we plan to rely on the exemption available for foreignprivate issuers to follow our home country governance practices.As a result,you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders ofcompanies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.For details,see“Risk Factor Risks Related to the ADSs and thisOffering We will be a“controlled company”within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and,as a result,may rely onexemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.”Implications of Being a Foreign Private IssuerWe are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act,and as such we are exempt from certain provisions ofthe securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S.domestic issuers.Moreover,the information we are required tofile with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S.domestic issuers.Inaddition,as a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands,we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporategovernance matters that differ significantly from the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.We currently intend to followCayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market that listed companiesmust:(1)have a majority of independent directors,(2)have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independentdirectors,(3)have an audit committee composed of at least three members,(4)obtain shareholders approval for issuance of securities in certainsituations,and(5)hold annual shareholders meetings.These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if wecomplied fully with the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.152022/12/22Form F-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932770/000119312522309126/d715255df1.htm25/364Table of ContentsCorporate InformationOur
