In 1928, Saidil moved to Tashkent to study in the Central Asia University majoring in oriental studies. After finishing his education there, he returned to Almaty in 1931. Starting from 1927, Saidil begins to write short stories and compose literature newspaper pieces. In the middle of 1940s, he becomes a responsible secretary in the Kazakh agricultural institute's literature department. In 1934, he graduates from the Kazakh Pedagogue Institute.[1]
