    More about the author Xiao Tu:

    His pen name 小土 is derived from the Chinese character ‘尘’，which means ‘dust’, a reminder of how minute and insignificant he is. The red seal, carved at the age of 17, is his first seal. It was imbued with a sense of rawness and naivety, and has since stamped the many paths he has taken. When inked in red, the resulting expression, ‘红尘’ connotes the world of mundane secular beings. While working on the painting of this seal, it accidentally dropped onto the ground, resulting in a chip at the bottom right corner.
