Qi Xin

Qi Xin (Chinese: 齐心; born 3 November 1926) is a Communist Party of China member, writer and educator. She was born in Gaoyang County, Hebei. She has written many articles on her husband Xi Zhongxun.

Qi visited provincial and county-level schools set-up by the communist government as a consultant.^[1] It has been suggested that this position provided her family with relatively good protection during the Cultural Revolution.

She is the mother of Xi Yuanping and Xi Jinping, current General Secretary of the Communist Party of China.^[2] She is also the mother of Qi Qiaoqiao (齐桥桥).^[3] Xi Mingze is her granddaughter.^[4]

During the funeral of her husband in 2002, 3 children stood in front of Qi Xin, as seen by the public on state live television. Mingze (10 years old (born in mid-1992)) stood between 2 boys. Commentators suggest that these 2 boys are Qi Xin's grandsons, but their names/ parental information is uncertain/ unknown.^{[5] [6] [7]}
