The original text and translation of "Sima Guang" are as follows:
Original text: Sima Guang, courtesy name Junshi, was from Xia County, Shaanxi Province. He was seven years old and looked as awe-inspiring as an adult. After hearing about "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals", I fell in love with it and retired to teach it to my family. Since I couldn't put down the book, I didn't know the hunger, thirst, cold or heat. A group of children played in the courtyard, and one child climbed on the urn. He fell down and was submerged in the water. Everyone abandoned him. He just hit the urn with a stone and broke it. The water burst out and he survived.
Translation: Sima Guang, courtesy name Junshi, was born in Xia County, Shaanxi Province. When Sima Guang was 7 years old, he was as steady as an adult. When he heard people talk about "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", he liked it very much and understood it. After being careless, I went back and told my family. From then on, I couldn't put it down for "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu", and even forgot about hunger, thirst, cold and heat.
A group of children were playing in the courtyard. One child climbed onto a large tank, slipped and fell into the tank and was submerged in water. The other children abandoned him and left. Sima Guang took a stone and smashed the jar open, water flowed out, and the child survived.
