Why did peasants support the chinese communist party during jiang's government

Jiang's government in China became corrupt by the coming years and it created unrest in the country which resulted in rage among the public. Jiang's government was unable to improve the lives of local people, which led to the civil war in China between the Communist and the Nationalist that lasted until 1946. China Communist Party promised that if they took over the control in government, they would return the lands to the farmers. So after gaining power, Mao divided the land among the local farmers.
