Abstract: The Chinese liberal intellectuals in the early regime of GMD government (1927-1932) assumed themselves as social spiritual leaders and did not support the GMD regime,but meanwhile they were unreasonably and blindly afraid of Communism and the political movements led by the Communists.Therefore,they were frequently in a dilemma in casting their criticism on GMD regime.But their political ideology became adapted to the new political situation after September 18th,1931:on one hand,they began to cooperated politically with GMD,and on the other hand they started to acknowledge the legitimation of CPC.Unfortunately this ideological adaptation was criticized as a surrender to the reactionary GMD regime.This criticism is not fair under the circumstances at that time because their ideological adaptation reflected their political independence,social responsibility and commitment.Their advocating for speech freedom and GMD-CPC cooperation prepared for the second GMD-Communist Cooperation in fighting against Japanese invasion in China and should be positively recognized in history.

Key words: Literal Intellectual, political ideology, GMD regime
