biography

Səypidin was born in Tacheng as the son of an influential Uighur family of merchants who originally came from Artux . He first went to school in Xinjiang, then moved to the Soviet Union , where he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and studied at the Central Asian Political Institute in Tashkent .

Upon his return to Xinjiang, Səypidin took a leading role in the Ili uprising (“ Three Districts Revolution ”) against the Republic of China, which was supported by the Soviet Union, and served as Education Minister of the Republic of East Turkestan in the coalition government of Ili insurgents and Guomindang -Representatives under Zhang Zhizhong from 1945 to 1948.

In September 1949 Səypidin took part in the Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese People (CPPCC) and became a member of the new communist government. In October, Xinjiang was incorporated into the People's Republic of China. From then on, Səypidin held various government and official posts.

From December 1949 to January 1950, Səypidin accompanied Mao Zedong to Moscow , where the Sino-Soviet friendship treaty was negotiated. He resigned from the CPSU on December 27, 1949 and joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personally as a guarantor with Mao .

In 1955 Səypidin criticized Mao Zedong for calling Xinjiang "Xinjiang Autonomous Region" because "the autonomy does not affect mountains and rivers, but nationalities". Shortly thereafter, the area was named "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region".

From 1955 to 1987 - with one interruption during the Cultural Revolution - Səypidin was chairman of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. He was also the deputy chairman of the Standing Committee of the I to VII National People's Congress and a deputy member of the Politburo of the X and XI. CCP Central Committee .

From 1993 to 1998 Səypidin was deputy chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.

Səypidin died at the age of 88.
