    Last July, when actress-turned-activist Yuan Li met Ren at his home in Xiangyang village in Shangluo, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the first thing she saw was the coffin that Ren had prepared for himself, sitting in his living room. He was nothing more than skin and bones, and had to sit in bed all day because of his breathing problems. Ren started to work at a gold mine in Central China's Henan Province in , and that's how he got pneumoconiosis, the most common occupational disease in China caused by inhaling metallic or mineral particles or gas which become lodged in sufferers' lungs.

    According to a report by China's National Health and Family Planning Commission last year, among the 29, diagnoses of work-related diseases in , Yuan was researching the health of pneumoconiosis patients with Love Save Pneumoconiosis, a non-governmental group founded by Wang Keqin, an investigative journalist, dedicated to raising awareness of the disease and providing help for sufferers. She thought of Ren. Despite all the attention and blessings, three days after the surgery, Ren died of complications from the surgery.

    Ren's live lung transplant and his death drew public attention once again to pneumoconiosis, the slow, silent killer that has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people working under horrible conditions, and impoverished many more. Photos posted by surgeons on Weibo show their lung transplant operation on Ren Nengping and the coal nuggets taken from Ren's lung. Courtesy of Sina Weibo. Pain and poverty China's history of pneumoconiosis is closely connected with its economic boom. Most black lung patients started to develop the disease in the late s and early s, when reform and opening up lead many of them to work in dangerous industries such as mines and metal factories.

    The exact number of black lung sufferers in China is not clear. According to the Ministry of Health, there were over , diagnoses of pneumoconiosis in China in , a number growing by over 20, cases a year, but Love Save Pneumoconiosis says the actual number of sufferers could be 10 times bigger, exceeding 6 million, since the majority are never diagnosed. Due to the lack of treatment, as many of 22 percent of black lung sufferers will die of the condition.

    Having pneumoconiosis means losing one's ability to work. According to a report by Love Save Pneumoconiosis, Many patients will get out of breath just walking around their homes. Many pneumoconiosis patients have to breathe with the help of an oxygen tank, and their life is lived tethered to a plastic pipe just a few meters long.

    When the disease is at its final stages, many have to kneel down several times a day and even while sleeping in order to alleviate the pain in the lungs.
