When a miner dies, his family receives a death pension greater than the amount of money he would have made in his lifetime had he stayed alive. In rural China, where farming alone cannot sustain families, miners have no alternative but to risk their lives daily, descending hundreds of meters underground to dig out the black ore fueling China's massive electrical grid. To the Light delves into the hopes and struggles of the mining families of Sichuan, in western China. The father of two, Luo originally became a coal miner to pay the fine for violating China's One Child Policy. Hui, son of another miner, prefers to be a coal-train driver than to work far from home. For many families, coal mining has become the principal source of income and the only alternative to factory jobs in distant cities. The mines are notoriously dangerous and thousands are killed every year. Going deep underground, the film exposes the perils faced by these miners, the slim rewards, and dire consequences when things go wrong. In spite of the risks, the working poor continue to flock to the mines, unable to heed the warning that earning a living wage may also mean dying for it. 001355066 530__ $$aPreviously released as DVD. 001355066 546__ $$aThis edition in Chinese with English subtitles. 001355066 650_0 $$aCoal miners$$zChina$$zSichuan Sheng. 001355066 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355066 7001_ $$aLiu, Yuanchen.$$4drt 001355066 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1860577 001355066 901__ $$aASP1860577/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c11136$$tbiblio 001355066 905__ $$uadmin 001355066 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355066$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355066 944__ $$a1909506 001355066 945__ $$aThe Whole World$$cChina 001355066 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355066 980__ $$aBIB 001355066 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355066 983__ $$aOnline
