Translation of "Book of Resurrection"

I already know the content of your letter. Now I will remit you five hundred yen. You have only been four years since you left the country. Why was all the money I brought with me spent in just one month? This is very strange! Your purpose of going abroad this time is to study. Studying should be based on hard work, and you don't have to worry about making friends and socializing. The expenses you brought were enough to last more than a year. Why was it spent in less than four months? If you spend it where it should be used, even if it's a hundred gold a day, I can still afford it based on my financial resources. But you shouldn't be like this, not to mention that such waste must not be spent on food and daily life, but must be spent on other things.

Have you ever read "Mencius"? Anyone who does something good must first let his heart suffer, let his body be hungry and tired, his heart be troubled, and his thoughts will be blocked. Only in this way will he be able to Make a difference. You don't need to do this because of my protection from my father, but you should know the hardship of labor and do your duty to study. If not, even if you return to your country after completing your studies, you will definitely not be able to do anything. If you are like this now, I may have no hope for you in the future! Spending money is a small matter, but wasting your studies, wasting your energy, and wasting your time because of money is a big deal. I wrote to you before to warn you that you must study hard. How come you forgot? Time is precious, but learning is not easy. You should experience the joys and sorrows by yourself, and don't let down the old man's teachings.
