住在大山深处的王作礼一家就快喘不上气了，尽管那里遍地翠竹，被称作“天然氧吧”。

Living in the mountain in the WangZuoLi a quick breath away the,Although there bamboo throughout the land,called"Natural oxygen bar".

　　这个山清水秀的小村庄位于四川省乐山市沐川县。从成都出发，要换三趟车、使用三种交通工具，最后还得手脚并用地爬一段山路，至少花费7个小时。结果，74岁的庄稼人王作礼只用短短的19个字就向外乡人说清了他家的故事：“我有五个儿子，三个儿子生病，到现在死了两个。”

The picturesque scenery of the small village is located in leshan muchuan county, sichuan province.Starting from chengdu,To change the three bus/Use three kinds of transportation,Finally still have to hands and feet and land climb a mountain road,Spend at least seven hours.The results,The 74 - year - old peasant WangZuoLi only short 19 word to non-native tell the story of his family:"I have five sons,Three son was ill,The two are now dead."

　　起初，他们以为这种“怪病”是肺结核，后来又有人说是出去打工中了“铅毒”，直到几年后拿到诊断证明书才知道，这原来是一种名叫矽肺病的职业病，也就是人们常说的尘肺病。

At first,They think this kind of"Strange disease"Is tuberculosis,Then some say out the work"Lead poison",Until a few years to get certificate of diagnosis to know,This turned out to be a named silicosis occupational disease,Also is the people often said pneumoconiosis.

　　这时，它已经让王家三个儿子的肺部一点点地纤维化，最后变得像石头，压得他们喘不过气，压垮了生命以及这个原本就贫困的家庭。

At this time,It has let the wangs three sons lung fibrosis little by little,Finally became like stone,Pressure to gulp,Overriding the life and the had poor family.

　　10年间，王作礼失去了两个儿子，还有一个已是矽肺二期。他的家庭被尘肺包围了，他的邻居也没能逃脱。在这个800多人的村子里，尘肺病患者至少有15人，至今只剩8个还在呼吸。

Ten years,WangZuoLi lost two sons,There is a is the second phase of silicosis.His family is surrounded the pneumoconiosis,His neighbors didn't escape.In the more than 800 people in the village,Pneumoconiosis patients at least 15 people,So far only eight still breathing.

“哪想得到什么尘肺不尘肺的，只想多挣点钱” "What what want pneumoconiosis not pneumoconiosis,Just want to make more money"

　　家中最小的两个儿子去世了，留下74岁的父亲王作礼和75岁的母亲杨才书。

Youngest in the two sons died,Leave the 74 - year - old father WangZuoLi and 75 - year - old mother YangCaiShu.

　　王作礼的腰弯了，浑身的关节都在疼。杨才书整宿睡不着觉，白天呆坐在炭火盆边垂着头打瞌睡，连拐杖摔在地上都没听到。空荡荡的屋子里，只有他们养的公鸡蹦来蹦去，神经质地叫个不停。

The WangZuoLi bent,All joints are in pain.YangCaiShu whole accommodation to sleep,The day sat in the coal basin edge vertical head doze off,Even the crutches fell on the ground all didn't hear.The empty house,Only they have the cock jumping again and again,Nervously keep call.

　　王作礼有七个儿女，去世的老五和老六生前和他们住在一起。52岁的大儿子王祖全独居山下，有时会爬上山来看看他们。这个中年男人总是驼着背，矽肺二期让他看上去比实际年龄更老一些。

WangZuoLi seven children,He died and old six before and they live together.52 years old son WangZuQuan mountain alone,Sometimes will climb the mountain to look at them.The middle-aged man always smooth back,The second phase of silicosis let him look more than actual age old some.

　　这条熟悉的山路，王祖全曾经一口气就能跑上来，现在歇上三四次，还喘个不停。1988年农闲，27岁的他就沿着这条泥泞的小路走出大山，去甘洛县的铅锌矿区打工。

This article familiar mountain road,WangZuQuan once breath can run up,From now on three or four times a year,Also keep out of.In 1988,The 27-year-old he along the muddy track out of the mountains,To lead and zinc mine of ganluo county work.

　　位于凉山彝族自治州的甘洛县有丰富的铅锌矿资源，山上遍布的矿井就像马蜂窝。在上世纪八九十年代，它被称作四川的“小香港”。本地和邻县的许多年轻人都去那里淘金，其中就有王祖全和他的四个弟弟。

Located in liangshan yi autonomous prefecture of ganluo county is rich in lead-zinc resource,Throughout the mountain mine as hornet's nest.In the s and s,It is called sichuan"Little Hong Kong".Local and LinXian of many young people go there for gold,Among them WangZuQuan and his four brother.

　　人们口中的“小香港”，其实到处灰蒙蒙的，空气混杂着浓重的柴油味，与山清水秀的沐川相比简直是“两重天”。不过，那里的矿工挣得比沐川县城公职人员还要多两倍。对于一个只有3亩田的9口之家来说，这是条“划得来”的出路。

People mouth"Little Hong Kong",In fact a grey everywhere,The air was thick with a hybrid diesel taste,Compared with some beautiful muchuan is just"between".but,Where the miners earns more than the city office staff more than two times.For a field of only three mu family of 9 it,This article is"worthwhile"Way out.

　　“哪想得到什么尘肺不尘肺的，只想多挣点钱。”坐在炭火盆边，王祖全避开升起的烟，眯着眼睛说。那时，他对生活最大的期望，就是“幸福一点，找个对象，回来好好过生活”。

"What what want pneumoconiosis not pneumoconiosis,Just want to make more money."Coals till basin edge,WangZuQuan avoid smoke rising,Narrow her eyes.then,For the life the biggest expectations,is"A little happiness,Find a object,Come back to life".

　　在矿井里拉了一个月的沙子，王祖全觉得不挣钱，改行当了炮工。他佝偻着腰爬进窄小的洞口，在岩石上打孔，把炸药填进去，再跑到几十米外点燃引线。他的防护装备，就是一只最普通的防尘口罩。

In the mine lira a month of sand,WangZuQuan don't earn money,Changed when the gun work.He with rickets waist climbed into the small hole,On the rock drilling,Fill in the explosive,Run again to dozens of meters outside light lead.His protective equipment,Is a the most common dust mask.

　　灰尘让王祖全看不清一米外的人。从井洞出来，他满脸白灰，咳出的痰里也带着灰。在那种环境里，连老父亲都认不出自己的儿子了。1991年，王作礼在甘洛矿上做过5个月的饭，他只记得有人从洞里钻出来，但四处都是灰尘，根本看不清他们的脸。

Let WangZuQuan dust do not see the one meter.Come out from the well hole,He looked very pale grey,Cough up phlegm also with grey.In that environment,Even the old father didn't recognize my own son.In 1991,,WangZuoLi in ganluo field did five months of rice,He only remember someone from the hole drill out,But everywhere is dust,Fundamental can't see their faces.

　　“当时不晓得沙。”20多年后，王作礼摇摇头，露出一丝苦笑。

"Didn't know the sand."After twenty years,WangZuoLi shook his head,Peep out one silk smile bitterly.

　　没人把这些白灰当回事。王家兄弟几个在矿上碰面时，也抱怨这里的空气让人恼火。可一转头，他们又商量着跟哪个老板干活时间短、挣得多。他们天真地以为，只要把自己洗干净就没事了，“就算灰尘吃到肚子里，最后也会排出来啊”。

No one put these lime seriously.The wangs brother several in the field when meet,Also complaining about the air to make people angry.Can be a turn,They also consult with which the boss work time is short/Earn more than.They naively,As long as the clean was just fine,"Even if the dust to eat,Will also end row out ah".

　　村里人还在羡慕这些“先富起来的”。看到拎着水果回家的他们，有的邻居用夸张的语调招呼着：“哦，挣大钱的回来喽！”

And also in envy these"Yet up".See carry fruits of their home,Some neighbors with exaggeration tone called the:"oh,Earn a lot of money back then!"

　　去甘洛零碎地打了4年工，31岁的王祖全实现了自己的愿望。他娶了比自己小10多岁的姑娘，还用打工攒下的一万块钱在山下的公路旁盖了80平方米的砖木结构新房。第二年，他们的儿子出生。

To ganluo piecemeal played four years work,At the age of 31 WangZuQuan to achieve their wishes.He married than his little more than ten years old girl,Work with saved $ten thousand under the mountain highway side cover 80 square metres of the three-tier structure bridal chamber.The second year,Their son was born.

　　“她年轻，别人都说她漂亮。”尽管这段婚姻只维持了5年就因贫穷而结束，但提起那段光彩的日子，王祖全耷拉的嘴角终于扬起来，露出羞涩的笑容。

"She is young,The other people all said she beautiful."Although this marriage only lasted for five years because of poor and end,But mention that glorious day,WangZuQuan slouch mouth finally lift up,Show shy smile.

“钱没挣到，病弄到了，啥子名堂哦” "The money didn't earn,Disease got,What tricks oh"

　　最先感觉这些灰尘不太对劲的，是从小体质就弱的老六王祖华。

The first to feel the dust of a bit off,Is from the old constitution is weak WangZuHua six.

　　2003年，留在矿上的王家兄弟只剩下老大、老五还有老六，三个人已经断断续续当了10多年炮工。这年农闲，他们像往常一样钻进井洞，可没干多久，老六就开始一直咳嗽，总觉得累，最后连路都走不动了。甘洛县的医生说他得了肺结核，让他别在矿山干了。

In 2003,,In the field of brother only boss/He and old six,Three people have been off and on for ten years gun work.This year in the,They like usual drilling well hole,How long do you can't,Old six began to always cough,Always feel tired,Even the road can't walk anymore.Ganluo county doctor said that he had tuberculosis,Let him not in mine dry.

　　老六回家吃了大半年治肺结核的药，病没好，胃口倒变差了。这个三十出头的小伙子只要晚上脱了衣服睡，第二天起来就会感冒，半个月都好不了。

Old six home for a few months to tuberculosis drugs,Disease not good,But bad appetite.The young man as long as thirty s take off clothes sleeping at night,The second day up will catch a cold,Half a month are attending.

　　那一年，甘洛县的矿山发生了塌方事故，四川省政府要求对非法开采的矿区进行整改。被遣散的工人忙着找其他活路，没人在意王家老六的这种病。

That year,Ganluo county mine happened collapse accident,The sichuan provincial government requirements of illegal mining area of rectification.Be sent workers busy looking for other way to make a living,No one care about the old six of the disease.

　　老五王祖团还是单身，那段时间，他正四处找对象，刚刚认识了一个离婚、在县城有正式工作的女人。可从甘洛回来半年后，他也开始咳嗽，还咳出了血。

He WangZuTuan still single,time,He is go around to find the object,Just know a divorce/In the county have the formal work of woman.From the ganluo back after half an year,He also began to cough,Still coughed up blood.

　　老五的病来得比老六更凶。父亲把田地转包出去，拿了4000元送他去山西治疗结核病的专科医院，治了一个多月，钱花光了，病却不见好转，最后只好回家继续吃普通的感冒药。

He was the disease than old six more fierce.Father fields subcontract out,Took 4000 yuan to send him to the shanxi treatment tuberculosis hospitals,For more than a month,Money spent,Disease but not get better,Finally had to go home to eat of the common cold.

　　怕他的病传染，家里人单独给他备了副碗筷，饭菜也是单舀出来的。

Afraid of his disease transmission,The family to him alone for a pair of chopsticks,Food is single bail out.

　　只有一年时间，老五的身体就垮了。他瘦得不成样子，走不了路，睡不了觉，躺在床上后背疼，坐在火盆边又差点一头栽进去。

Only a year,He body is collapsed.He is not like,On the road,Sleep the sleep,Lying in bed have a pain in my back,Sit brazier side and almost a head planted in.

　　这个淘气、爱结交朋友的年轻人，变得脾气暴躁，一会儿要喝水，一会儿又要喝粥，等到母亲杨才书端过来，他又吃不下了，只是粗重地喘着气，脖子一下一下地向上抻着。

The naughty/Young people love to make friends,grumpy,Water for a while,For a while and want to drink gruel,Wait until mother YangCaiShu end come over,He can't eat any more,Just rough wheezing,It is a neck down due to the upward.

　　胸口疼得受不了时，他用秤砣砸自己的脑袋，因为没有力气，只砸出一个大包。他想摸灯泡电死自己，结果也没死成。

Chest pain when can't stand,He hit his head weight,Because there is no strength,Just hit a big pack.He wanted to touch his dead electric light bulb,The results also not dead into.

　　“砸也砸不死，烧也烧不死，没得问题了。”老五又嚷嚷着让父亲卖掉家里的牛犊，给他买药治病。

"Hit also hit deathless,Burn also burn the undead,Have no problem."He and talking about let father sell home calf,To buy him a medicine cure.

　　两个儿子接连生了“怪病”，都要拿钱吃药，王作礼心里很恼火。这个家本来就不富裕，住的还是土坯房，屋里连个电视机都没有。患有风湿的王作礼常常要走两公里的泥浆路，上山砍一百多斤竹子，扛在肩膀上再走一个多小时山路背到公路边，换三四十元贴补家用。

Two sons were born"Strange disease",All want to take money to take medicine,WangZuoLi the in the mind be very angry.The family was not rich,Live or adobe,The house didn't even have a TV set.With rheumatism WangZuoLi often to go two kilometers of mud road,Cut up more than one hundred jins of bamboo,Carry on the shoulder to walk again more than one hour back to mountain highway side,In 40 yuan to contribute to the family.

　　好脾气的他有时也忍不住抱怨：“钱没挣到，病弄到了，啥子名堂哦？”

Good temper he sometimes can't help but complain:"The money didn't earn,Disease got,What tricks oh?"

　　儿子和竹子把王作礼压得喘不过气。“不是这里痛就是那里痛。”他伸出一双皱巴巴的大手，揉着上面的关节。“他的腰杆也伤了。”坐在旁边半天没说话的杨才书心疼地插了一句。

The son and bamboo WangZuoLi overwhelmed."It's not pain is pain there."He held out a pair of big crumpled,Massage on the joint."His tall also hurt."Sat next to the along while and don't talk YangCaiShu lovingly inserted a.

　　2005年冬天，老五病得“心里发慌”。他藏在屋里的石磨后面，冲出来毫无缘由地给大哥头上一菜刀。王祖全捂着头，血顺着手指缝流下来。要不是老五病得没有力气，这刀下去他就起不来了。

The winter of 2005,Ill catch."Heart feel nervous".He hid in the house behind the stone mill,There is no reason to rush out to the eldest brother head a kitchen knife.WangZuQuan over his head,Blood flow to the fingers.If it weren't for he was ill and have no energy,This knife down he can't get up.

　　住在县城的弟弟雇了辆面包车赶来，背大哥下山，去县医院缝了7针。这道伤口留在王祖全的头皮上，现在还时时作痛。

Live in the county's brother hired van arrived,Back eldest brother came down from the mountain,Go to county hospital joint 7 needle.The word WangZuQuan wound in the scalp,Now also always pain.

　　杨才书吓得不敢在家里呆着，跑到邻居家吃了几天饭。

YangCaiShu scared to dare not stay at home,Ran to the neighbor's eat rice for a few days.

　　在屋里叫唤了两天后，36岁的老五王祖团死了。谁也说不清他最后到底是什么样子，只记住了那惊心动魄的一刀。直到老五咽气，全家人依然认为夺走他生命的是肺结核。杨才书把他用过的碗筷在屋外摔碎了，怕勾起伤心事，又把他的照片烧了。如今，这个家中找不到一丝他存在过的痕迹。

Call in the house for two days,He died at the age of 36 WangZuTuan.Who can tell what was his last,Just remember the thrilling a sword.Until he died,The whole family still think claimed his life is tuberculosis.The YangCaiShu he had broken bowl chopsticks outside,Afraid of remind sorrow,And he burned the photos.now,This home can't find a trace of his existence.

　　葬礼上，杨才书哭得昏了过去。家里另一个病人老六害怕了，他有些灰心地问大哥：“以后我怎么办啊？”

funeral,YangCaiShu cry blacked out.Home another patient old six frightened,Some of his dejectedly ask elder brother:"Later I to do?"
