　　“In the past, we were lovers, but we couldn’t get married because we were far apart,” Pao said simply as he waited for his date on a dark night in the village of Khau Vai in Ha Giang province.
　　Now when they meet, he said, “we pour our hearts out about the time when we were in love.”
　　They are not alone.
　　For two days each year, on the 26th and 27th of the third month of the lunar calendar, the tiny village of Khau Vai, strung along a saddle in the lush hills near China, is transformed into a “love market.”
　　Hundreds of members of Giay, Nung, Tay, Dzao, San Chi, Lo Lo and Hmong hill tribes, among others, trek in from across the mountainous districts nearby to attend. Some travel for days, even from neighboring provinces.
　　Pao’s wife was there, too, meeting her old flame.
