秉善生述，述，因之父也。 Bingshan had a son named Shu, who was Liu Yin's father.

歲壬辰，述始北歸，刻意問學，邃性理之說，好長嘯。 In the renchen year (1232), Shu returned north for the first time, threw himself into learning, mastered Neo-Confucian teachings on nature and principle, and loved to give long whistles.

中統初，左三部尚書劉肅宣撫真定，辟武邑令，以疾辭歸。 Early in the Zhongtong era, when Liu Su of the Left Three Departments was pacifying Zhending, he appointed Shu magistrate of Wuyi; Shu resigned because of illness and went home.

因生之夕，述夢神人馬載一兒至其家，曰：「善養之。」 On the night Liu Yin was born, Shu dreamed that a divine figure on horseback brought a child to his door and said, "Nurture him well."

因蚤喪父，事繼母孝，有父、祖喪未葬，投書先友翰林待制楊恕，憐而助之，始克襄事。 Liu Yin lost his father while still young and served his stepmother with filial devotion. His father and grandfather lay unburied; he wrote to his father's old friend Yang Shu, a Hanlin Academician Awaiting Orders, who took pity on him and helped with the expenses, so that he could at last perform the burials.
