The XiShan conference(1925) took place during the first united front of the KMT and the CCP. This conference gave name to a new faction within the KMT: the XiShan conference faction. The present work aimes to study the impact of the XiShan conference faction in the reorganization of the KMT. Through the analysis of the political thoughts of the XiShan conference faction, we will try to further explain the implications on the political structure and the function of the KMT.This dissertation paper consists of three parts: preface, main body including five chapters and conclusion.
