Massage therapist makes a fortune on stocks

Liu Junling, a blind massage therapist, made enough money to start his own business by investing in one blue-chip company before the stock market crash.

In a remarkable story that has astonished traders and fund managers, Liu made 130,000 yuan ($20,900) in nine months after investing 720,000 yuan in Bank of Communications Ltd shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

At first, he invested 270,000 yuan of his savings in the stock when it was trading at just 4.5 yuan back in October last year.
