We note the interest-free loan to third party was $2,038,826, $2,032,473 and $1,706,242 for the periods presented and recorded as a current
asset for these periods. We also note the amount at March 31, 2023 is significant as it is equal to 41% of your working capital surplus
as of the same date. Please address the following:
● Explain
to us why the amount was not fully collected as of March 31, 2023 when it was recorded as
current as of September 30, 2021;
● Explain
to us how you determined the amount is fully collectible as of March 31, 2023;
● Disclose
when you expect the amount to be paid in full;
● Disclose
why the loan was made and identify the party that received the proceeds; and
● Correct
the date on page 69 from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
respectfully advise the Staff that:
(a) At the time of the issuance of the financial statements as of September
30, 2021, we evaluated the financial conditions of these third parties, such as their most recent collection history and any open litigation
or negative news, and we made bad debt provision of $321,792 among these loans. In regard to the remaining outstanding balances of the
loans, we believed it was probable that we would collect all of the amounts due within one year, after considering all of the facts and
circumstances; therefore, we recorded all the interest-free loans to third parties as a current asset. We collected $829,042 of the outstanding
balance for the year ended September 30, 2022 and, with the exception of the amount we determined to be fully collectable as of March
31, 2021, collected substantially all of the remaining outstanding balance as of the date of Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement
on Form F-1 (except for the amounts which have been previously recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts);
(b) As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of interest-free loans
to third parties was an aggregate of $1,706,242, of which $301,915 has been recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts. We have collected
$1,304,391 as of the date of Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form F-1, and we are confident that the remaining amount is
fully collectable as of March 31, 2023;
(c) We disclosed the amount collected as of the date of Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form
F-1 on page F-39;
(d) We disclosed the nature of the loan on pages F-18 and F-39. There were 26 parties that received the proceeds.
Since we have collected most of the repayments due on these loans and these parties are not directly related to the Group’s business
operations, we have determined not to include the identity of the 26 parties in the financial statements. However, we have identified
them in the following list for the Staff’s reference; and
(e) We corrected the date on page 69.

Note 12. Related Party Transactions, page F-43
4. We note the amount due from Shuang Wu increased
from zero to $996,239 and it represented the advance to this related party for the Group’s daily operations or the initial public
offering costs, including legal fees and accounting fees. Please explain to us in further detail this description, the payment terms of
this receivable, and how you determined the amount is collectible. In this regard, if amounts are advanced to this related party for your
daily operations or other costs, that appears to imply that these costs are not being recorded on your financial statements. Please revise
your disclosure, as appropriate.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
respectfully advise the Staff that Shuang Wu has been regularly made payments on behalf of the Group for our daily operations or the initial
public offering costs for the year ended September 30, 2022, and these payments on behalf of the Group have been recorded as deferred
offering cost and amount due to related party - Shuang Wu. As of March 31, 2023, the $996,239 advanced to Shuang Wu was for the same purpose
of future payment for audit fees and legal expenses. The Group then decided the subsequent payments should be directly paid by the Company
for a better cash management, therefore, Shuang Wu fully repaid the remaining unused amount advanced from the Company in July, 2023. We
revised page F-44 and page 128 to disclose further detail.
5. We note on page 125 that you have not paid
any compensation to your directors and officers and on page 126 that neither Shuang Wu, your CEO since June 2022, nor Ningfang Liang,
your CFO since June 2022, own shares in the company. Please explain to us why these officers are working without compensation and whether
you expect to pay compensation to them in the future. In addition, explain to us whether the $996,239 given to Shuang Wu should be recorded
as compensation.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
respectfully advise the Staff that from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025, the compensation of our CEO and CFO is RMB30,000 (about $4,368)
per month and $2,000 per month, respectively. The Company will settle the accumulated compensation in cash by the earlier of (i) the effectiveness
of our registration statement; or (ii) at the end of December 2023, and will record it as a general and administrative expense. Thereafter,
the Company will pay the compensation to our CEO and CFO on a monthly basis. The $996,239 advanced to Shuang Wu was for the payment of
daily operations and various initial public offering costs, which was not related to the Group’s compensation expense for directors.

6. Please revise your financial statements
to reflect the value of the services provided by Baiming Yu, your Chief Operating Officer since June 2022 and beneficial owner of 50%
of your outstanding Ordinary Shares, recorded as an operating expense and additional paid-in capital. Refer to SAB Topic 5.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
respectfully advise the Staff that the Company has paid cash remuneration to Baiming Yu for his service since June 2022, which was recorded
as a general and administrative expense. We accordingly revised the disclosure on page 125.
In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges
that:
● the
Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
● Staff
comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission

or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided
with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Ying Li, Esq., of Hunter Taubman Fischer &
