父喪哀毀，二兄繼歿，英獨事母甚謹，又奉二寡嫂與居，使得保全嫠節。 At his father's death he mourned with utter devastation. Two elder brothers died in succession. Ying alone served his mother with great care and also housed his two widowed sisters-in-law together, enabling them to preserve their chastity.

及喪母，卜地葬諸喪，親負土為四墳，手植松柏，廬墓側終身。 When his mother died he chose ground to bury all the dead, personally carried earth for four mounds, planted pine and cypress with his own hands, and lived beside the tombs for the rest of his life.
