Wang Bingbing’s story illustrates the struggles faced by coal workers in China as the nation transitions to cleaner energy. His home was demolished by local authorities due to the risk of landslides from nearby coal mining. Wang suffered a mining injury and now survives on government welfare after leaving work due to illness. His family, once dependent on coal for economic stability, is concerned about their future as the government moves away from fossil fuels but struggles with environmental consequences and potential displacement of workers like himself.
Wang Bingbing’s life reflects a past where coal industry was dangerous but profitable. As China moves toward cleaner energy, families like his fear being left behind.
Years of coal mining heightened the risk of landslides, forcing Wang and his family out of their home, which local authorities later demolished to prevent their return.
