How it's used
This term is a specific political classification from mid-twentieth century mainland China, categorizing rural households based on their land ownership and economic status. It is rarely used in contemporary Hong Kong daily life except when discussing historical events or political literature. Using it in casual conversation might sound like you are quoting a textbook or a period drama.
