Translate the first paragraph of the preface to send Ma Sheng to Dong Yang.

I liked studying when I was young. Because my family is poor, I can't afford to buy books. I often borrow books from book collectors, copy them myself and return them on an agreed date. When the weather is very cold, the water in the inkstone pool is frozen into hard ice, and the fingers can't bend and stretch, and they still don't slack off. Return it to others as soon as possible after copying, and dare not exceed the agreed time limit slightly. So most people are willing to lend me books, so I can read a lot of books. As an adult, I admire the theory of sages more and more, and I am worried that I will not be able to make knowledgeable teachers and celebrity friends. I ran hundreds of miles away with the scriptures in my hand and asked the villagers for advice. His predecessors were noble and famous, and his master students crowded his room. His words and attitude are never euphemistic. I stood beside him, asking questions, asking truth, and bowed my head to him for advice; Sometimes I am reprimanded, my expression is more respectful, my manners are more thoughtful, and I dare not answer a word; Ask him when he is happy. So although I was stupid, I finally learned a lot.
