獨自赴印尋父
梁啟超《飲冰室詩話》第六節載∶「康南海之第二女公子同璧，研精史籍，深通英文。去年孑身獨行，省親於印度，以19歲之妙齡弱質，淩數千裏之莽淘瘴霧，亦可渭虎父無犬子也。近得其寄詩二首，自跋雲∶『侍大人遊舍衛隻林，壞殿頹垣，佛法已劫。然支那女士來遊者，同璧為第一人。』詩雲∶

『舍衛山河曆劫塵，
布金壞殿數三巡。
若論女士西遊者，
我是支那第一人。』

『靈鷲高峰照暮霞，
淒迷塔樹萬人家。
恒河落日滔滔盡，
隻樹雷音付落花。』」

Homes Wei mountains and rivers scrape dust,
Dobkin bad Hall of round three.
On Ms. Journey
The Shina first.

Tamawashi peak according to Mo Xia
Chilling tower tree people at home.
Ganges sunset surging to do,
Only the tree Leiyin pay Petals.

這段記載著1902年春天康同璧女扮男裝，蘋身從北京經河西走廊再南下赴印度尋父的經曆，曾在中華人民共和國建國初年康同璧與毛澤東初次見麵時被毛澤東當麵誇獎，也成為她引以自豪的地方。
