I wonder why every Asian character straight away connects to Mulan?? It could be August centric and tell of how he was before he came to Storybrooke or what happened to him post curse. The Healer could very well be from our world - I mean August did go to Phuket - theres no reason why he could not have visited China as well.

The possible connection with Mulan, has nothing to do with the Healer's ethnicity. It has to do with this  spoiler.

Michael Ausiello is pretty reliable, when it comes to spoilers. Note, he only mentioned Mulan and Phillip.... nothing about Aurora. The Healer also seems to possess magical abilities, so he is probably from the Enchanted Forest.
