Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original Schedule 13D remains unchanged, and capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing the third paragraph thereof in its entirety with the following:

On June 16, 2022, the Issuer granted options to purchase 6,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the Special Option Grant) to Mr. Jiayuan Lin. All of such share options vested immediately upon grant and have an exercise price of US$0.2951 per Class A ordinary share as of the date hereof. The exercise price has been adjusted from the amount reported in the Original Schedule 13D due to the special cash dividend of US$0.5 per ordinary share paid by the Issuer to its shareholders on November 23, 2022.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D and the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a)-(b) The responses of each Reporting Person to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

As of the date hereof, (i) 34,702,890 Class B ordinary shares are held directly by Traveler Enterprise Limited, (ii) 2,741,606 Class A ordinary shares represented by American Depositary Shares are beneficially owned by Traveler Enterprise Limited, (iii) 1 Class A ordinary share is held by Medway Brilliant Holding Limited and (iv) Mr. Jiayuan Lin holds options to purchase up to 11,588,096 Class A ordinary shares exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

The percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned is calculated based on (i) 196,605,493 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022, as provided by the Issuer, (ii) 34,702,890 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, assuming the conversion of all such Class B ordinary shares into the same number of Class A ordinary shares and (iii) 11,588,096 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Jiayuan Lin has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the options granted to him, assuming such options were exercised, as applicable.

The voting power of the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Jiayuan Lin represents 42.5% of the total outstanding voting power.The percentage of voting power is calculated by dividing the voting power beneficially owned by such reporting person by the voting power of (i) a total of 196,605,493 Class A ordinary shares and 72,978,677 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022, as provided by the Issuer, as well as (ii) 11,588,096 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Jiayuan Lin has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the options granted to him, assuming such options were exercised. In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders vote, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 20 votes, voting together as one class. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

In addition to the Special Option Grant, as described further in Item 6 below, the Issuer previously granted certain options to purchase Class A ordinary shares to Mr. Jiayuan Lin pursuant to the Issuers 2018 share incentive plan (the 2018 Plan).

By virtue of the voting agreement described further in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons and certain parties thereto may each be deemed to be a member of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons are members of any such group. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A ordinary shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned solely by virtue of the voting agreement.

(c) The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5. Mr. Jiayuan Lin became the beneficial owner of 1,253,049 additional Class A ordinary shares underlying share options which will vest within 60 days from the date hereof. Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions relating to the Class A ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing the sixth paragraph under the caption Option Grants thereof in its entirety with the following:

As of the date hereof, the exercise price of outstanding options pursuant to the grants described above is US$0.2951 per Class A ordinary share. The exercise price has been adjusted from the amount reported in the Original Schedule 13D due to the special cash dividend of US$0.5 per ordinary share paid by the Issuer to its shareholders on November 23, 2022.
