Why were people in china drawn to communism?

During the Qing dynasty period and in at beginning of the 20th century, a handful of land owners and nobles held almost 80% of China's lands and the wealth was concentrated only on the wealthy higher class.

The working class people who were mostly peasants were left with nothing. They were unable to even satisfy their basic needs! Famine, starvation, and diseases spread every where and the rulers were unable to protect China and her interests from aggressive foreign colonial powers like Europeans, Americans and Japanese.

It is because of this immense economic and social pressure that communism became popular among the ordinary people in China.
