     This same process occurred in villages founded in central and northern Manchuria. The fragmentation of a large estate can be observed in the case of the Chang household, which owned 1,080 hectares in K’o-shan county of Heilungkiang province in north Manchuria prior to 1911. By 1934 the Chang household owned none of this land. The estate had been sold off so that portions of it were claimed by 54 households, which ranged in size from 130 hectares to .13 hectares.]
