It's well known that many Chinese are financially unable to register their second+ child. The unregistered children have no official identity, can't lead normal lives, can't go to school, etc. It's to be expected that some will choose not to register their first when it's a girl. Hopefully this will soon be a thing of the past as they are loosening the policies.
There are many other documentaries and articles on unregistered children such as this:

- seanmcdirmid 10y agoThis is only partially true, with many exceptions. But ya, many girls in the countryside are hukou-free, unregistered, off the grid, non-persons, etc...China is trying to change this, the central gov would prefer everyone was registered, but local governments make too much money on family planning fines to give it up.
