Shortly after the liquidation, Huang Licheng reopened a long position with 25x leverage, buying 1,700 ETH, worth approximately $3.19 million, maintaining his consistent high-leverage contrarian bullish stance.
It is noteworthy that on the same day, Taiwan’s Weighted Index surged over 600 points after the Lunar New Year holiday, breaking through 34,000 points.

Profitable films: The first three “Zong Ye” series, and “The Old Man” directed by Nine Knives.
Clarification of controversy: Director Nine Knives commented under the post, stating, “May I ask, is there any area that needs improvement?” indicating no losses.
