Duo Duo

(China, 1951)
Biografie
Duo Duo 多多 (penname for Li Shizheng 栗世征) grew up in the years when China was going through historical changes. He was born in 1951, shortly after the turnover of political power in 1949 and a few years before the “anti-rightist” movement in 1957-1958. His formal schooling was interrupted and eventually ended when the Cultural Revolution broke out in 1966. He was sent to Baiyangdian farm for reformation during Mao’s campaign which sent students and intellectuals from the cities to the countryside to receive "re-education". Incidentally, Baiyngdian became the cradle of contemporary Chinese poetry: Shi Zhi, Gen Zi, Mang Ke, Duo Duo and many other earlier poets spent their youth and early writing careers there.
Duo Duo was in de jaren 1989, 1990 en 1996 te gast op het Poetry International festival in Rotterdam, waarvan hiernaast opnamen te horen zijn.
