老一辈革命家中,毛泽东、周恩来、朱德、董必武、叶剑英、陈毅等均擅长诗词,写过不少精妙作品,但未发现刘少奇的诗作。直至1974年美国学者洛厄尔·迪特默出版的专著《刘少奇》中,才刊载刘少奇一首罕见的诗作《天津桥上》。1989年此书已由中共党史专家陈晋翻译,并由华夏出版社出版。原诗的全文是如下。 Among the older revolutionaries, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Dong Biwu, Ye Jianying, Chen Yi and others both excelled in poetry and wrote many exquisite works but did not find Liu Shaoqi’s poems. Until 1974, the American scholar Lowell Ditmer’s monograph Liu Shaoqi published a rare poem entitled “Tianjin Bridge” by Liu Shaoqi. This book has been translated by Chen Jin, a party historian of the CCP in 1989 and published by Huaxia Publishing House. The full text of the original poem is as follows.
