Familiar things, especially those played with in childhood, can most easily evoke memories.
Even though these were things Yan Fei played with as a child, Xu Xiaoyan was quite familiar with them too—Yan Fei had no one to play with then, so he'd bring toys to play with Xu Xiaoyan. So many of those things, in fact, Xu Xiaoyan had played with herself.

When Xu Xiaoyan finished flipping through a picture book, she turned and laughed: "What are you doing?"
