Draft Registration Statement

Securities and Exchange Commission

100 F Street, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20549

USA

Dear Sir/Madam,

On behalf of Puxin Limited (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting the Company’s draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering of the Company’s ordinary shares to be represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”) in the United States. Subject to market conditions and the review of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Company expects to file a preliminary prospectus with a price range in April 2018 and commence the offer in May 2018.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the procedures of the Commission for emerging growth companies, the enclosed draft Registration Statement is being submitted to the Staff in draft form and on a confidential basis.

The Company respectfully advises the Commission that it has included in the Draft Registration Statement the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 for Puxin Education Technology Group Co., Ltd. (“Puxin Education”), a PRC company under effective control of the Company through a series of contractual arrangements entered into among the relevant parties in February 2018, on the basis that Puxin Education is under the common control of the Company’s largest shareholder in 2016 and the Company was not incorporated until March 17, 2017. The Company intends to promptly include in its subsequent registration statement the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 for the Company. The Company further respectfully advises the Commission that the audited consolidated financial statement included in the Draft Registration Statement do not include a Schedule I as required under S-X 5-04, which is the stand-alone financial statements of Puxin Education as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Instead, the Company will include the Puxin Limited’s Schedule I in its subsequent registration statement which will include the Company’s audited 2016 and 2017 financial statements.
