It's definitely a man. He has a man's body. Notice he's got blue eyes, too. This is a young adult third generation family and the locals in China have unusual names and features. For example, a Chinese first name with a French last name. Hair colors besides black/dark brown are happening, too. It appears to me that the explorers from other countries are making babies with the Chinese locals and they are growing up as time passes. Then they end up working in the market!
