和起，馬佳氏，滿洲鑲藍旗人。 He Qi, of the Magiya clan, belonged to the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner.

和起襲職，授盛京協領。 He Qi inherited the rank and was appointed a garrison colonel at Mukden.

永常劾和起兵不及額，而和起先疏言將九百人以往，留百人護輜重，上得永常疏，不之罪也。 Yongchang impeached He Qi for bringing fewer troops than required, but He Qi had already reported that he would advance with nine hundred men and leave a hundred to guard the baggage train. When the emperor read Yongchang's memorial, he declined to punish He Qi.

尋又命偕提督豆斌為巴里坤辦事大臣，策楞代永常為定西將軍，复劾和起送兵馬遲誤，當奪官，留任。 He was soon appointed, together with provincial commander Dou Bin, minister resident at Barkul. When Celeng replaced Yongchang as Pacification-of-the-West General, he impeached He Qi again for tardiness in moving troops and horses. He Qi should have been dismissed, but was allowed to remain in office.

達什達瓦所屬宰桑訥默庫、曼集、烏達瑚們都等在軍私還游牧，命和起嚴鞫得實，以降人請予寬典，上不許，命正軍法。 The zaisangs Nemuku, Manji, Udahundu, and others under Dashdawa had slipped away from the army to return to their pastures. He Qi was ordered to investigate the matter rigorously and established the facts beyond dispute. Surrendered tribesmen pleaded for leniency, but the emperor refused and ordered them dealt with under military law.

定邊右副將軍兆惠令和起將索倫兵百人往按，檄吐魯番伯克莽阿里克等集闢展，而噶勒雜特宰桑哈薩克錫喇、布魯特台吉尼瑪陰應巴雅爾，詭以兵五百會。 Pacification Deputy General-in-Chief Zhaohui ordered He Qi to take a hundred Solon troops to look into the affair and summoned the Turfan beg Mangalik and others to assemble at Buzhan. Meanwhile the Galjut zaisang Hasake Xila and the Burut taiji Nima were secretly in league with Bayar and falsely promised to meet He Qi with five hundred men.

和起望兵至，疑之。 When He Qi saw troops approaching, he became suspicious.

和起所將兵僅百人，負重創，手刃數賊，股中槍，徒步轉戰，至夜力盡。 He Qi had only a hundred men under his command. Badly wounded, he killed several rebels with his own blade, took a musket ball in the thigh, and fought on foot through the day until nightfall, when his strength gave out.

和起垂死，命索倫侍衛努古德、彰金布突圍出，以所戴孔雀翎為識報兆惠，遂死之。 As he lay dying, He Qi ordered the Solon bodyguards Nugude and Zhangjinbu to fight their way out and report to Zhaohui, using the peacock feather he wore as proof of their message. Then he died.

諡武烈，追封一等伯，以一等子世襲，祀賢良、昭忠二祠。 He was posthumously honored with the title Wulie, ennobled as a first-class baron with descent by a first-class viscount, and enshrined in both the Shrine of Worthy Officials and the Shrine of Manifest Loyalty.

二十三年，師還，獲尼瑪及其子檻送京師，命戮於和起墓前。 In the twenty-third year, after the army returned, Nima and his son were captured, sent to the capital in cages, and ordered executed before He Qi's tomb.

和起等倉卒為賊陷，慷慨授命。 He Qi and the others, caught off guard and trapped by the enemy, gave their lives with noble resolve.
