五十年代初期,红军老战士李伯钊同志创作的歌剧《长征》上演后,立即引起了强烈反响,受到各方面的好评,特别是剧中出现毛泽东同志的场面时,剧场里掌声雷动,一片欢腾。中央许多领导同志和参加过长征的老战士看了这出戏,纷纷给予好评。有一次,毛泽东同志感到盛情难却,应邀看了这出戏。事后,毛泽东要自己的女儿向李伯钊转达了他的意见。他说:「写革命,写长征我都赞成,但不能拿我毛泽东当菩萨拜 In the early 1950s, Commemoration of the Long March by Comrade Li Po-chiu, a veteran of the Red Army, immediately aroused strong repercussions and was highly praised by all quarters. In particular, when the scene of Comrade Mao Tse-tung appeared in the play, the theater was applauded and rejoiced. Many leading comrades in the Central Government and the veterans who participated in the Long March saw this play and received favorable comments one after another. Once, Comrade Mao Zedong felt passionate but was invited to read the play. Afterwards, Mao Zedong asked his daughter to convey his opinion to Li Po-chu. He said: “I would like to write a revolution and write a long march, but I can not take my Mao Zedong as a Buddha.”
