Western Hills Group
The Kuomintang also had a secret group named Western Hills, which was set up in 1925 when Sun Yat-sen's coffin was kept there; the group's members, who were Buddhist, believed that the presence of Sun Yat-sen's body could bless them.
The group had a political goal of ousting the Communist Left, headed by Mikhail Borodin, from KMT.
