Dear Dr. Stiner
Thank you for your reply and the corrections of my English.
Your comment encouraged me greatly. Thank you very much.
I don't follow the stock market activities. Maybe they were many chance.
It was unripe market.
I didn't own stock in any companies yet.
But I intend to own some in the future.
What stocks do you want to buy?
By the way, It was the first company as one of the Chinese company listed by Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Good observation!
Hence, I will pay attention to this company.
data of this company:
Name: SINHUA CAIJING (HongKong)
Type: A government enterprise
Belonging: SINHUA Group

I looked at the NY Stock Exchange.  There are sixteen Chinese companies
listed.  They were mostly petrochemical companies and airlines.

1.The Balance Sheet --- Part 1
1) Balance Sheet :
    A financial statement that shows the amount and type of assets, liabilities
  and stockholders' (owners') equity, The total assets always equal the sum
    of total liabilities and total stockholders' equity. its present the financial position. It presents the financial position.
Correct!  Great answer.
2) stockholders' equity :
   A company's common stock equity as it appears on a balance sheet, 
 equal to total assets minus liabilities, preferred stock, and intangible 
 assets such as goodwill. This is how much the company would have 
left over in assets if it went out of business immediately. Since companies are usually expected to grow and generate more profits in the future, most companies end up being worth far more in the marketplace than their stockholders' equity would suggest. For this reason, stockholders' equity is of more interest to value investors than growth investors.  
Correct!  Which book had the answer?
3) Cash and cash equivalents , in millions of US dollars, its US$4,737 .
Don't forget to add "million."  The number you wrote is four thousand

four billion seven hundred thirty-seven million US dollars (or $4,737
million).
