Duo Duo is the pen name of contemporary Chinese poet, Li Shizheng (栗世征), a prominent exponent of the Chinese Misty Poets. He was awarded the 2010 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, becoming the award's 21st laureate and the first Chinese author to win the prize.

The Neustadt Prize, awarded every two years, is the only international literary award from the United States for which poets, playwrights, and novelists are given equal consideration. It is widely considered to be the most prestigious international prize after the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in fact, is often referred to as the "American Nobel."
