Youth for
dust-free future
A youth-led oral history and ethics initiative documenting pneumoconiosis in rural China
Who We Are ？
我们是谁？
Youth for Dust-Free Future is a youth-led documentation and research initiative that examines the lived experiences of pneumoconiosis-affected families.
The project focuses on field-based observation, oral history interviews, and ethical documentation, rather than advocacy-driven narratives.
本项目为青年发起的社会记录与研究型项目，关注尘肺病家庭的真实生活经验，强调田野观察与伦理取向的记录方式。
Why It Matters ？
为什么很重要？
Pneumoconiosis remains one of the most prevalent occupational diseases in China, yet its long-term social impact is often overlooked.
Beyond medical suffering, the disease reshapes household structures, caregiving roles, and livelihood strategies—particularly within rural communities.
尘肺病不仅是一种职业病，也深刻影响着家庭结构、生计方式与长期照护关系，其社会层面的影响长期缺乏系统性记录。
What We Do ？
我们做什么？
The project documents field observations and oral narratives through three primary approaches:
-
Conducting field-based oral history interviews with consent and contextual care
-
Recording observation notes that capture everyday interactions and practices
-
Building a public archive through written and visual documentation
项目通过田野访谈、观察记录与文字影像档案的方式，持续整理并呈现相关社区的生活经验。
