How to translate the overseas household registration book?

The origin of the "household registration book (book)"

In the mid-1950s, China's international situation was relatively severe, and its relations with the Western world were in a state of tension, and of course it was in a hostile state with the United States. . For the sake of national security, the national strategic focus is on industry, especially on the defense industry such as "two bombs and one satellite".

Since people in the cities were mainly engaged in heavy industry at that time, and there were no more light industries in the city, food could not be obtained through own exchange, so it was completely dependent on state rationing (supply by rural farmers) to stabilize the situation. At that time, after calculations of the grain produced by farmers in rural areas, it was found that about 15% of the grain could become commercial grain, which means that after farmers grow grain, about 15% can be surplus to supply to people in cities. Overall, the supply of food is not abundant, so if certain planned economic controls are not implemented on the urban population, many people will flow into the city, and the limited supply of urban food cannot feed the excess people.

In this case, the household registration management system was launched. A very important point of the household registration system at that time was to divide the people of the country into "farmers" and "residents" and to discourage excessive movement of farmers between rural areas and between urban and rural areas.

So, under this background, the household registration management system was introduced, specifically using the "household registration book" as the carrier to manage personnel.
