Share subscription forms are officially issued in Shenzhen, South China on August 10, 1992. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese investors’ flocked to Shenzhen to buy the forms. Some came from other cities and lined up for over 48 hours, but 5 million forms were sold out in just half a day. A shortage of application forms led to demonstrations.
