父卒，號慟幾絕者數四，賴母崔氏慰勉之，得全。 When her father died, she wailed until she nearly expired four times; only her mother Lady Cui's comfort saved her.

及歸夫氏，與母分隔，便飲食日損，涕泣不絕，日就羸篤。 When she joined her husband's household and was separated from her mother, she ate less each day, wept without cease, and grew steadily weaker.

母崔，以神龜元年終於洛陽，凶問初到，舉聲慟絕，一宿乃蘇，水漿不入口者六日。 Her mother Cui died in Luoyang in the first year of Shengui; when the news arrived, Zong cried out and collapsed, reviving only after a night; for six days she took no food or water.

而氣力危殆，自范陽向洛，八旬方達，攀櫬號踴，遂卒。 Her strength failing, she took eighty days to travel from Fanyang to Luoyang; clinging to her mother's coffin, she wailed and stamped—and died.
