Dear Mr. Clampitt, Mr. Lin, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Kim:

On behalf of our client, CNFinance Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) initially filed on July 11, 2018, with amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “First Amended Registration Statement”) filed on July 31, 2018, amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Second Amended Registration Statement”) filed on August 24, 2018 and amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (the “Third Amended Registration Statement”) filed on October 31, 2018. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing its amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement (the “Fourth Amended Registration Statement”) and exhibit 1.1 via EDGAR to the Commission.

The Company plans to request that the Staff declare the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on November 6, 2018, and is filing the joint acceleration requests concurrently with the filing of the Amended Registration Statement. The Company would greatly appreciate the Staff’s continuing assistance to clear outstanding written or oral comments and support in meeting its timetable.
