Translation of Preface to Send Ma Sheng to Dongyang
I liked reading very much when I was young. The family is poor and can't get books to read. They often borrow books from book collectors, copy them by hand, and return them on time after calculating the date. Winter is very cold, the ink in the inkstone is frozen, fingers can't bend and straighten, and reading doesn't relax. After copying, he immediately ran to return the book, dare not exceed the agreed time limit. So many people are willing to lend me books that I can read all the books. As an adult, I admire the theory of ancient sages more, but I can't communicate with knowledgeable teachers and celebrities. Once I rushed hundreds of miles away, holding the scriptures and asking the elders with moral knowledge in the village. His predecessors were highly respected and his disciples crowded his room. His words and attitude have never been euphemistic. I stood beside him, asking questions, asking truth, bending down and listening respectfully; Sometimes, when he is reprimanded loudly, his expression is more respectful and his manners are more thoughtful, and he dare not say a rebuttal; He was happy and went to consult again. So although I was stupid, I finally learned a lot.

Go out for advice, carry a book box, drag shoes, and walk in the deep mountains and valleys. In the middle of winter, the cold wind blows hard and the snow is several feet deep. I don't know. The skin on my feet is cracked with cold. Back to school, my limbs were stiff and I couldn't move. The waiter gave me a hot bath and wrapped me in a quilt, which took me a long time to warm up. Staying in a hotel, the innkeeper has two meals a day, and there is nothing fresh, fat and delicious to enjoy. Everyone in the classmate's family is dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a hat decorated with red hair bands and jewels, with a white jade ring hanging around the waist, a treasure knife on the left and a sachet on the right, which is bright and dazzling, just like a fairy; I am in rags among them, but I am not jealous. Because there are enough happy things in my heart, I don't feel that the enjoyment of food and clothing is not as good as others. I just study hard.

Although I am old now, I have achieved nothing, but fortunately, I am still among the gentlemen, bearing the honor of the son of heaven, following the emperor every day, waiting for inquiries, and praising my name inappropriately under the sun, not to mention anyone who can surpass me.
