In 1938, during theSecond Sino-Japanese War,Qi was attending a girl'smiddle schoolinBeiping,modernBeijing.[2]After Beiping fell to the Japanese army, her elder sister Yun (Chinese:Vân) took her toTunliu County,Shanxi,where Yun joined theEighth Route Army.[3]Yun sent her younger sibling to the schoolgirl's team of theCounter-Japanese Military and Political University,which had set up a branch school in Tunliu.[2]
Later in the winter of 1939, Qi transferred to the female cadre's branch of the Cadre's School inChangzhi County,where she served as a team leader.[1]She participated in fighting at Yincheng and Xihuo town.[2]Qi entered theCentral Party School of the Chinese Communist Partyin 1941, then was sent to Yan'an University's middle school in 1942.[2]She marriedXi Zhongxunin April 1944, then after graduating school later that year, Qi went to a rural village to work.[3]

In 1952, Qi moved with her husband toBeijingso that he could serve as head of the propaganda department. In 1953, Qi enrolled in theMarx School of Communism.After graduating, Qi continued work at the institute, which was located quite far from the family home and required her husband to look after their children.[3]Qi visited provincial and county-level schools set-up by thecommunist governmentas a consultant.[4]It has been suggested that this position provided her family with relatively good protection during theCultural Revolution,when her husband was denounced, but not imprisoned.[2]Qi was asked to accompany Xi toLuoyangin 1975, however, to look after him whilst he was still under investigation.[4]

After sending Xi her own autobiographical introduction, the two married at the prefectural party office inSuide Countyon 28 April 1944.[3]The couple had their first child in 1949, a daughter namedQiaoqiao(Chinese:Kiều kiều), followed by another daughter in 1952 named An'an (Chinese:An an), and two sons namedJinpingandYuanping(Chinese:Xa bình).[3]Following the births of each of her children, Qi only stayed at home until the baby was weaned before returning to her work.[6]She came home at most once each week.[6]The family led a frugal and austere lifestyle, not having shoes for the younger sons.[7]
Qi's younger brother, Qi Bu (Chinese:Tề bước) (also known as Qi Ruixin (Chinese:Tề duệ tân)) (d.1987),[8]was vice party secretary of the China National Gold Group and a top official in the gold and mineral exploration arm of the People’s Armed Police.[9]CCP leaderXi Jinpingconsidered him "very close".[10]
