BEIJING, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese stocks rallied on Wednesday afternoon with securities, coal and property shares reversing a downward trend in earlier trading.

The Shanghai stock index hit a record low during the day's trading, at 1999.17. However, it was later rescued by strong performances in securities, coal and property.
