Prospectus Summary, page 1

2.     Please revise to clarify whether you commissioned the April 2018 survey
conducted
       by iResearch that you first reference on page 3, and supplementally
provide us with
       that survey.

Our Challenges, page 3

4.     Please add a brief description of any risks involved with investing in
your ADSs.

Corporate History and Structure, page 4

5.     Since investors will be investing in a holding company that does not
directly own its
       operations in China, please make this fact clear in your prospectus
summary. It must
       be clear that the business you are describing is not the registrant's
business but is the
       business of your variable interest entities. Please also disclose in
this section the fact
       that the shareholders of your VIEs may have interests that conflict with
you, as you
       state on page 36.

6.     Please briefly disclose the significant restrictions on payment of
dividends imposed
       under PRC law and disclose the circumstances under which the funds of
your
       subsidiaries and VIEs are distributable as cash dividends to you. We
note the related
       disclosure on pages 37, 88 and 117.

Corporate Information, page 6

7.     Please clarify the status of your main website, as the address listed in
this section
       appears to not be operational.

Conventions that Apply to this Prospectus, page 6

8.     We note your definition of GMV on page 6. Please tell us your
consideration of
       expanding your definition to address your inclusion or exclusion of
discounts, returns,
       and shipping fees.

9.     Your definition of the term "mobile MAUs" on page 7 clarifies that,
"[i]f a mobile
       device accesses two different mobile apps or two different Mini Programs
of ours
       over the course of a calendar month, it would, under this methodology,
be counted as
       two mobile MAUs." Please revise your definition of "active buyers" on
page 6 to
 Qi Chen
Meili Inc.

Page 3

        clarify whether you use this same methodology for your calculation of
that metric,
        and make similar clarifications where you discuss "average user time"
on pages 2 and
        95.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations, page 74

16.    In your disclosure on page 73, you identify "[y]our ability to expand
[y]our user base,
       in particular [y]our active buyers, and strengthen [y]our user
engagement" as a factor
       that directly affects your results of operations. You also include
metrics such as
       "active buyers" and "mobile MAUs" in various locations throughout your
prospectus.
       Please expand your MD&A disclosure to present these metrics and discuss
any
       material trends in these and any other important metrics you use to
track user, buyer,
       and merchant acquisition, engagement, and retention. Refer to Item 4.a

Results of Operations

Year ended March 31, 2018 compared to year ended March 31, 2017, page 79

18.    We note the 12.3% decrease in revenues in the year ended March 31, 2018,
which
       was due to a 35.6% decrease in marketing service revenues, partially
offset by
       increases in commission revenues and other revenues. Please disclose
whether and to
       what extent you expect these trends to be indicative of future operating
results. Refer
       to Item 303(a)(3)(ii) of Regulation S-K and related Instructions.

19.    Based on your disclosures in note 1(c) to the financial statements, we
note that
       revenues of consolidated VIEs decreased significantly during the year
ended March
       31, 2018 relative to the year ended March 31, 2017. Please tell us your
consideration
       of explaining this change and similar to the preceding comment, whether
and to what
       extent you expect this trend to be indicative of future operating
results.

Costs and expenses, page 80

20.    Throughout your discussion of costs and expenses you often identify more
than one
       factor underlying the changes in your results without quantifying the
impact of each
       factor. Please quantify, to the extent practical, the impact of each
material factor
       identified. Refer to Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K and SEC Release
No. 34-48960.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 82

21.    We note you disclose that 46% of your cash and cash equivalents were
held in China
       and denominated in the Renminbi. Please expand your disclosure to
include material
       amounts of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
disaggregated by
       currency denomination in each jurisdiction in which your affiliated
entities are
       domiciled.

Critical Accounting Policies, page 84

22.    Given the significance of goodwill in your domestic business reporting
unit and the
       qualitative considerations that the Group has suffered from accumulated
losses and
       operating cash flow deficits, please tell us your consideration of
providing critical
       accounting policy disclosure related to goodwill impairment testing with
the objective
       of ensuring that investors are provided with information that allows for
an assessment
       of the probability of a future material impairment charge. In
particular, it appears the
       following disclosures might be warranted:

       a.     The percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value as of
the date of
              the most recent test;
       b.     The amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit;
       c.     A description of the methods and key assumptions used and how the
key
              assumptions were determined;
       d.     A discussion of the degree of uncertainty associated with the key
assumptions.
              The discussion regarding uncertainty should provide specifics to
the extent
              possible (e.g., the valuation model assumes recovery from a
business
              downturn within a defined period of time); and
       e.     A description of potential events and/or changes in circumstances
that could
              reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions.

internet
       memes," and you characterize your professionally produced content as

here the
       proportion of your buyer traffic that you source from social networks
generally and
       from Weixin, specifically. Please provide similar disclosure in the risk
factor
       discussing your use of social networks on page 20. Please also explain
in greater
       detail the "mini-programs" within Weixin to which you refer throughout
the
       prospectus and tell us whether the manner in which a buyer accesses your
platform
       affects the way in which you derive revenues.

revise to

the prospectus,
       including the prospectus summary, to more clearly disclose your
relationship with
       Tencent and the extent to which you are dependent upon Tencent platforms
to
       conduct your business, or tell us why you do not believe such disclosure
is required.
       In this regard, we note that you derive user traffic from Weixin, Weixin
Pay, and QQ
       Wallet, that you utilize Tencent's payment platform to settle
transactions on your
       website, and that you rely on Tencent Cloud to store your data.

or part of the
       gain. Please also provide support for your determination that the
assembled
       workforce that was transferred constitutes a business.

17 Ordinary Shares

Class C Ordinary Shares, page F-43

33.    We note your discussion here regarding Class C Ordinary Shares which
entitle their
       beneficial owner to thirty votes for each Class C Ordinary Share. We
also note that
       any ordinary shares beneficially owned by Chen Qi will be automatically
converted

       ownership, and that any Class C Ordinary Shares shall be automatically
converted
       into Class A Ordinary Shares once Mr. Qi ceases to beneficially own
those shares.
       Please provide disclosure discussing the disparate voting power and
influence held by
       Mr. Qi through his beneficial ownership of Class C Ordinary Shares and
their
       automatic conversion terms in your prospectus summary and description of
