Abstract
- An essay is presented on the distribution of land ownership in a coastal village in the New Territories of Hong Kong, China in 1904. The author researched land and dwellings as determinants of relative wealth in a poor community. Particular attention is given to how land was used as a genealogical determinant because written genealogies were scarce and often did not exist at all.
