SO MANY POP UP ALL OF A SUDDEN

Haven’t been to Yishan Lake for a long while.
Tonight I am taking a stroll with my wife.
She says
so many people pop up all of a sudden.
I say probably very few of them know
This used to be the May Seventh Cadre School
labor camp of Suzhou.
Back then in the Cultural Revolution,
so many people all of a sudden.
