Farmers in New Territories (2)

Soon after the end of World War Two, civil war broke out in China. Escaping refugees surged into Hong Kong en masse. Some of the refugees were entrepreneurs and urban settlers who would later fuel Hong Kong’s industrial boom. Others who had no money or knew no skills, settled in the New Territories as subsistence farmers.
