A number of important events happened in 1923: Turkey became a Republic and the Ottoman Empire was erased, Iraq gained de jure independence, Yankees Stadium opened, there was military coup in Bulgaria, Reza Khan joins the Qajar Administration in Iran, and Sun Yatsen allies the Kuomintag with the Communists.

What does Sun Yat sen have to do with China?
1.sun yat sen was founder of free china Sun Yat Sen helped take down the Qing Dynasty and then developed the modern People's Republic of China. This gained him the name of "Father of Modern China". The above answers are both problematic. Sun Yatsen did not found "Free China", he founded the Republic of China, which was a government with rules, regulations, and a Constitution. This earned him the name "Father of Modern China". He made alliances with the Communists in an attempt to prevent the country from falling into chaos, but was certainly not Communist himself and did not support China becoming a Communist State (that eventually did happen long after his death).
Why did peasants align with Chinese communists?
Life could only get better. It gave some relief from the grinding poverty they suffered. It is obvious to any student of history and observer of human nature that if the ruling group treads on people hard enough they will finally revolt because they were given no choice. all revolutions begin that way. Communist uprisings like the Chinese example are no different. Whatever you think of communism or revolutions they would not have occured in the first place if the populace had been well treated. Your question is a good example of how politically naive and downtrodden peasants will align themselves to a group that promises better.
