父玉嚐客滄州，依節度判官呂兗。 His father Yu had once been a guest in Cangzhou and relied on the military governor's registrar Lu Yan.

劉守光破滄州，收兗親屬盡戮之，兗子琦年十四，玉負之以逃，至太原，變姓名，丐衣食以給琦，琦後唐同光初為藩郡從事。 When Liu Shouguang overran Cangzhou he seized all of Yan's kin and killed them. Yan's son Qi was fourteen; Yu carried him on his back to Taiyuan, changed their names, and begged food and clothing to support him. In the early Later Tang Tongguang era Qi became a staff officer in a frontier command.

當是時，燕、趙之士，以玉能存呂氏之孤，翕然稱之。 At that time men of Yan and Zhao all praised Yu for having saved the orphan of the Lu clan.

清泰中，琦為給事中、端明殿學士，玉已卒矣。 During the Qingtai reign Qi was attendant gentleman and academician of the Duanming Hall; Yu had already died.
