崔懷慎，清河東武城人也。 Cui Huaishen was from Dongwucheng in Qinghe commandery.

懷慎與妻房氏篤愛，聞父陷沒，即日遣妻，布衣蔬食，如居喪禮。 Huaishen and his wife Lady Fang loved each other deeply. When he learned his father had been taken captive, he dismissed his wife that same day, dressed in hemp and ate only plain food, and lived as though in mourning.

邪利後仕虜中書，戒懷慎不許如此，懷慎得書更號泣。 Xieli later served the northerners as Director of the Secretariat and urged Huaishen not to go on like this; when Huaishen read the letter, he wept all the harder.

懷慎從叔模為滎陽太守，亦同沈虜，模子雖居處改節，而不廢婚宦。 Huaishen's uncle Mo, Administrator of Xingyang, was also taken by the northerners. Mo's son changed his way of life under captivity but still married and took office.

大明中，懷慎宗人冀州刺史元孫北使，虜問之曰：「崔邪利、模竝力屈歸命，二家子姪，出處不同，義將安在？」 During the Daming era Huaishen's kinsman Yuansun, governor of Jizhou, went north on a mission. The northerners asked him: "Cui Xieli and Mo both submitted when their strength gave out, yet their sons and nephews behave differently. Where does righteousness lie?"

懷慎因此入北。 On this account Huaishen went north himself.

至桑乾，邪利時已卒，懷慎絕而後蘇。 When he reached Sanggan he found Xieli had already died; Huaishen fainted and only later came to.

懷慎孤貧獨立，宗黨哀之，日斂給其升米。 Huaishen was left alone in poverty; his kinsmen pitied him and each day pooled their grain to support him.
