呂彥能者，陵州人。 Lü Yanneng came from Lingzhou.

至正十八年，賊犯陵州，彥能與家人謀所往。 In Zhizheng 18 bandits attacked Lingzhou, and Yanneng and his family debated where to flee.

其姊久嫠居，寓彥能家，先曰：「我喪夫二十年，又無後，不死何為？ His widowed elder sister, who lived with him, spoke first: "I've been widowed twenty years with no heirs—what reason do I have to live?

其妻劉氏語彥能曰：「妾為君家婦二十八年，茲不幸逢亂離，必不負君，君可自往，妾入井矣。」 His wife Lady Liu told him, "I've been your wife for twenty-eight years. In this calamity I won't betray you—go save yourself. I'm going into the well."

彥能二女及子婦王氏、二孫女，皆隨劉氏溺井。 Yanneng's two daughters, his daughter-in-law Lady Wang, and two granddaughters followed Lady Liu into the well.
