插曲采访她之前发生了一个有趣的小插曲。由于《新西湖》第六期刚刚做了《这一夜谁来看演出》的专题，为避免题材的重复，我们准备先采访她的丈夫--新开元集团的老板，而把她的采访推迟几期。采访之前，我们做足了功课。开元集团的老板陈妙林，不但是一个经营有方的企业家，而且还是一位自行车运动爱好者，为此我还专门恶补山地自行车运动的常识，以免采访中露怯。一切准备停当，我们来到了位于新开元大酒店总部的董事长办公室，推门看到一位企业家满面春风地迎上前来。我们赶紧说：“陈总，你好。”他说了一句令我们很诧异的话：“陈总是我老婆。”等他递上名片，我们几个人面面相觑，更加茫然，因为名片上赫然印着三个大字：“汤小兔”，经过几分钟难堪的煎熬，我们决定实话实说：“您不是陈妙林吗？”他哈哈大笑起来：“你们弄错了。陳妙林是萧山の開元旅業の老板，我們是新開元。”他看我們尴尬，又說：「經常有記者把我們兩家搞錯，沒問題。你們就是來得對，就坐下聊聊吧。」我們想將錯就錯採訪汤小兔，但他怎麼也不肯，最终說：「你們還是採訪我老婆吧，她們故事多。」走出新開元的大門，我們給陳藝打電話，她已經知道了我們闹的笑話。一半出於對我們同情，一半出於對《新西湖》雜志的信任，陳藝答應接受我們專訪。
地点选在南山路的一家灯光昏暗、白昼如夜的咖啡馆里。在三个多小时的倾谈中，陳藝多次落泪，她带我们走进她的童年，跟她一起经历与她年龄不相称的人生，一起抵御，也一起见证那一个个刻骨铭心的人生时刻。
牛头山的一个人的命运不可能超越时代和家国。在那个年代，有些家庭会因为一次偶然决策而改变命运。那一年，为浙江缺少能源担忧省委江华了解到一个情况，在浙西北一直有人在挖窑采煤，就命地址勘探队去探个虚实。而后，当局将这个项目定下来，这个矿就这样诞生了。但这座矿因其高硫含量而被认为是不经济，所以它成为了一个充满争议的问题。
1958年勘探结果出来了，那时候全国都在大搞“三面红旗”，这样一个新的煤矿诞生了。这座矿位于浙江长兴县和安徽广德县交界的地方，因此取名为长广煤矿。这座城市对于那些从事艰苦劳动的人来说是一个充满希望的地方，对于那些渴望更好的生活条件和教育机会的人来说，它又是一个遥不可及的地方。
然而，在这样的背景下，有一些人却能找到自己的位置并且发挥作用。她们用自己的努力证明自己，并且让人们认识到每个人都有能力实现自己的梦想。她们展示给世人的是一种坚韧不拔的心态，以及无论环境如何变化，都能够保持内心平静和坚定的意志力。
作为这些人的代表人物之一的是何英。在 hers own life, she has experienced many challenges and difficulties. However, she never gave up. Instead, she used her experiences to fuel her passion for performing arts. She became a renowned actress in the field of traditional Chinese theater called "越剧". Her talent and dedication earned her recognition not only within China but also internationally.
Her journey began when she was just a young girl from a coal mining town. Growing up in such an environment shaped her into the person she is today - strong-willed and determined. She knew that education was key to changing her circumstances and so, she worked hard to excel academically.
When the opportunity arose for her to join the prestigious Zhejiang Provincial Art School's Yueju Opera Troupe, Chen Ai seized it without hesitation. Despite facing numerous obstacles along the way, including being relegated to minor roles at first and struggling with stage fright due to cultural differences between rural and urban settings; Chen Ai persevered through sheer grittiness.
Chen Ai's rise as an accomplished performer did not go unnoticed by those around her or by audiences worldwide who were captivated by both his remarkable talent & unyielding spirit as he went on from one triumph after another – becoming an icon of resilience & determination inspiring countless others striving for their dreams despite seemingly insurmountable odds against them all while leaving behind lasting memories etched into history books forevermore
