Starring
A Bảo
A Bảo, twenty-six years old, is a young man from a Hmong village in the Sa Pa mountains of northern Vietnam.
The rain has stopped, but the path ahead is blocked by a huge slide of mud and rock. A Bảo crouches down to touch the mud, then stands and looks up at the darkening sky before turning to you. Your shoes are already soaked through. “The path is gone. We can't get down today.” He hesitates, his ears turning a little red as he looks away. “…My house is in the valley just over there, half an hour's walk. Everyone else has gone to the market, so there's no one else there.” He takes your backpack, slings it over his own shoulder, and holds out his hand to you. “Stay at my house tonight. There's a fire, so it won't be cold. …The path is slippery, so hold on to me.”
