到徐家沟煤矿，是我第一次上班，那年我十二岁，1974年，5月9号，我永远不能忘记的日子。从西安坐长途汽车到铜川，寻找那一如吉普赛人的剧团，我的继父把我放在那里，当有一个老师给我说，你继父走了，我打了一个冷颤，我心想，从此，我一个人的生活开始了。晚上，走到后台，看见一个脸盆都是油彩，我蹲下用肥皂洗的干干净净！

没有人告诉你要干什么，工作要自己用眼睛找，把自己一开始就融入单位，是我从小就有的自觉的醒悟。

从那以后，我除过每天的练功以外，台后提手锣，上灯光楼打追光，上午写字幕，下午自学语文，画布景，上街贴我写的演戏广告，有时，跟大师傅买菜，更是用一年的时间当电工，挣得一双线手套！

王石凹煤矿，是铜川最大的煤矿，这里有建好的剧院，有一天4顿的食堂，有一个如山般的大坡，坡上有两辆火车车厢，用大绞盘带动，一上一下，好玩的很。最忘不了的是演戏结束后，12点还有加餐，油炸小鱼！快乐的童年，不想来的快去的也快！
无论工作有多累，我都能坚持，无论生活有多苦，我也能忍受，但是，我最害怕的事来了，剧团放假了，无家可归的我，独自站在舞台的后沟，望着沟底两只大瓮用绳子绑起，里面是一具杀人犯的尸体，无比恐惧！望着天空刺眼的太阳，没有一丝的温暖，黄土高原上的风，寒冷而无情！

那一天，全剧团的女人都为孤儿留下了泪水！没有家的人，对未来充满绝望，但又充满战胜困难的坚强斗志！一无所有，无所畏惧。克服难题如有神助。受困苦如受甘甜，心静如水，这时，我成长了。我只身回到姨妈家，上交伙食费，自费寄养！那年，我12岁！
