Silence in the Dust

Dazhang's family lives in the autonomous county of Youyan, located in the Southeast of Chongqing, China. More than twenty years ago, Dazhang along with his three brothers came to Guangdong to work in a local Quartz Powder factory. He met his wife there and together they had three lovely children. However, a few years later, Dazhang was diagnosed with advanced staged pneumoconiosis due to the exposure to a significant amount of dust at work every day.
