this man - probably in his late sixties - seems very astonished to see a "white" person - in his environment - i was at the market having a key cut - he wouldnt look me in the eye - which in itself is not suprising - but usually the older the person in china - the more likely they are to be "forward" his "uniform" a remnant from another time - very "red gaurd" seemed completly out of place amongst the "consumers' happily shopping at the well stocked market.
