Definition
改革派 refers to a political or social faction that advocates for reform — the 'reformist faction' or 'reform camp.' It's a compound noun formed from 改革 (reform) and 派 (faction/group). You'll encounter it in political analysis, historical discussions (e.g., the reformists vs. conservatives in the late Qing), and organizational contexts where internal groups differ on change.
