父勔於大桁戰死，悛時疾病，扶伏路次，號哭求勔屍。 His father Mian was killed in battle at the Great Beam; though ill, Quan dragged himself along the roadside, wailing and searching for his father's body.

勔屍項後傷缺，悛割髮補之。 A piece of flesh was missing from the back of Mian's neck; Quan cut his own hair to fill the wound.

太祖代勔爲領軍，素與勔善，書譬悛曰：「承至性毀瘵，轉之危慮，深以酸怛。 The Founding Emperor, who replaced Mian as Commander of the Guards and had long been on good terms with him, wrote to admonish Quan: "I have heard how your utmost filial devotion is ruining your health and driving you toward danger, and I am deeply grieved.

平西記室參軍夏侯恭叔上書，以柳元景中興功臣，劉勔殞身王事，宜存封爵。 Xiahou Gongshu, Record-Office Staff Officer for the Pacification-West command, memorialized that Liu Yuanjing had been a meritorious minister of the restoration and Liu Mian had died in the king's service, so their enfeoffed titles ought to be preserved.
