Living Space
From the story it tells about some poor people in Hong Kong living in a tiny house. The family lives in the Kwai Chung area of Hong Kong. Average living space per person is only 4.6 square meters. It's about the size of three toilet cubicles, or about half the size of a car park. A 2016 government report states that more than 65 percent of Hong Kong families live in homes ranging between 7 and 14 square meters.
Hong Kong owns one of the most expensive housing markets in the world. A member of the housing alliance Kwai Chung told reporters about how unhappy people live in such small homes. Another resident said that he could only buy a restroom for her husband and her son who is six years old. Room features bunk beds, wardrobes and small folding tables.
