Chinese women who have married fishermen from Hong-Kong have been given permission to live on their boats with their children in the bay. They are not allowed to enter the town. If the husbands give up fishing, the law requires the wives to return to China. 1,000 of them today live under this system ; 14 of them have just been repatriated to China.
