correct this passage:

it’s a big question but I can talk one point.
Many western countries there are a lot of private market. People buy medicine on their own but in china the government can cover most of the listed drugs. There is a national drug list in China and the country will pay that. But in the list most of the drugs are not quite expensive so people can have some better choice outside the list. but for Chinese people most of them are not very rich so it benefits a lot to them if they have the listed drugs the country can cover but for the western countries the people. most of them are middle class and they are willing to buy the commercial insurance which can afford the higher quality and expensive medicine.

Ask about a variety of topics from a financial perspective.

I’m a new student here. 2 weeks. I am new to the current company in Jing an temple. I am a finance manager in a French company. Pharmaceutical company. I am originally from Jiangsu province.
15 years ago just after graduation. I’m 2004. I have been in Pharma industry for 6 years. previously I worked in a vehicle company for 2 years and chemicals for 5 years. My major is financial management.
I have a lot of hobbies during my limited time like playing piano. I have been studying piano for 5 years but when I start the new job here I hardly find time to practice. And I also like painting, Watercolor painting but it also needs a lot of time. But right now I am too busy with my new job so after work I can only do some gym or practice yoga to build up a healthy body to afford the job.
I know a lot of English words but I don’t think I can use them freely during my free talk. One of my goals is to speak or negotiate in a more professional way. Especially during our meetings with some senior managers.
It depends if I have meeting with the senior finance manager I will present regarding the business unit I am responsible for. but when I attend meeting with the marketing I am a listener and just maybe talk about something from financial perspective.
And also I have a lot of Concall with oversea colleagues.

I have been travelled to Israel. In may last year. I enjoyed that travel, but it is very dangerous. I hardly fly back. At that time Trump fire a missile to Syria and my flight was cancelled.
At that time I was in Jerusalem and when I knew my flight was cancelled I went back to the old city and prayed. fortunately there were also some other flights. it was in the flight schedule. not everyone cancelled.
