+ Chinese Refugees, Awake, but Eyes Shut, Play Possum at Noon Nap These lads, uniformed by charitable organizations, are sons of Chinese Na tionalist families who, fleeing the Com munist-held mainland, take refuge at Hong Kong's Rennie's Mill Camp. Each boy keeps washcloth and mug on the shelf. The children's teacher, serving without pay, left her home in Hunan because "China has changed its color," she said. ->Japanese men often leave their wives at home and engage geishas to enliven business parties. This girl began her training at the age of 7. A licensed en tertainer, she is skilled in singing and dancing. f Hong Kong Junks Dry Huge Fanlike Sails Businessmen, financing the fishermen who sail these ships, risk thousands of dollars with no down payment or writ ten contract. But when a junk returns with its catch, the promoter is on hand to collect his share. Sometimes he sends his own boat out to the fishing grounds to receive payment while the fish are being caught. Entire families spend their lives aboard the junks. When the wind fails, men, women, and children move the craft with huge oars. © National Geographic Society Kodachromes by J. Baylor Roberts
