Land was always at the centre of life in Hong Kong's rural New Territories: it sustained livlihoods and lineages and, for some was a route to power. Villagers managed their land according to customs that were often at odds with formal Chinese law. This book explores land ownership in the New Territories, analysing over 100 surviving land deeds from the late Qing Dynasty to recent times, which are transcribed in full and translated into English.
