It is true that since Phuong had no 'Ho Khau' (they knew
that well before Phuong married Chinh), he could not have his
marriage registered. He could neither register the births of his
children nor apply for 'Ho Khau' for them. Since their marriage in
November 1979 (different date given), the couple lived at 20 Nha
Chung, Hanoi for about 20 months. To avoid disturbances of the police who visited their house every now and then for enquiries,
the couple moved to Phuc Tan of Quan Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, Phục Tan is
not a suburb of Hanoi and it is only 3 kilometers from Nha Chung
and which is situated in Quan Hoan Kiem. 'Quan' means 'district'
in Vietnamese and Quan Hoan Kiem and Quan Ba Dinh are the two
commercial centres of Hanoi with the concentration of all the
Government Ministries and Embassies, including the British Embassy
(please see copy of map of the city of Hanoi). Phuong did try many
times to resume his 'Ho Khau' but in vain. Every time, Phuong
approached the police by himself and Quang never accompanied him
for such purpose. In fact, Quang was only appointed by the 'Street
Co-operation Committee' to organize street cleaning and security
work etc. for the Committee. He was not a government official and
he'did that without pay.

the children were under the sponsorship of Hang for school
registration.
