When you stop looking for yourself, you will find the entire universe because what you are looking for is also looking for you. Anything you do persevere every day can open a door to the depths of your spirit. In silence, I slipped into the secret realm, and I enjoyed everything to observe the magic around me, and didn't make any noise. Why do you like to crawl when you are born with wings? The soul has its own ears and can hear things that the mind cannot understand. Seek inward for the answer to everything, everything in the universe is in you. Lovers do not end up meeting somewhere, and there is no parting in this world. A wound is where light enters your heart.
Chronic heart failure is not just a problem of the speed of heart rate! It is caused by the decrease in myocardial contraction and diastolic function, which leads to insufficient cardiac output, which in turn causes congestion in the pulmonary circulation and congestion in the systemic circulation. From causes, inducement to compensation mechanisms, the pathophysiological processes of heart failure are complex and diverse. By controlling edema, reducing the heart's front and afterload, improving cardiac comfort function, and preventing and treating basic causes, we can effectively respond to this challenge. Only by understanding the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of heart failure and mastering prevention and treatment strategies can we better protect heart health.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a phenomenon that cellular function and metabolic disorders and structural damage will worsen after organs or tissues restore blood supply. Its main mechanisms include increased free radical generation, calcium overload, and the role of microvascular and leukocytes. The heart and brain are common damaged organs, manifested as changes in myocardial metabolism and ultrastructural changes, decreased cardiac function, etc. Prevention and control measures include removing free radicals, reducing calcium overload, improving metabolism and controlling reperfusion conditions, such as low sodium, low temperature, low pressure, etc. Understanding these mechanisms can help develop effective treatment options and alleviate ischemic injury.

Wandering and returning
The hardships of wandering life
The dilemma of hunger and cold: After leaving Thornfield Manor, Jane Eyre was penniless and encountered hunger, coldness and discrimination on her way.

On a cold night, she almost freezes to death on the roadside, and her life is in danger.
The indifference and warmth of human nature: Despite many hardships, some kind people also helped her. Like a kind peasant woman, seeing her pitiful, she gave her some food and shelter. However, such warmth is only short-lived. More often, Jane Eyre feels the indifference of human nature and the cruelty of society.
Unexpected legacy and choice
Surprise of the legacy: During the wandering process, Jane Eyre accidentally learned that she had inherited her uncle's legacy and became a rich man overnight. This legacy not only changed her financial situation, but also gave her a sense of material security.
The test of proposal: St. John Rivers proposed to her, hoping that she would go to India to preach. St. John was a devout missionary. His proposal was not out of love, but rather that Jane Eyre was suitable to be his missionary partner.

Theme
Pursuing equality and freedom
The pursuit of equality in social status
Equality in love: Jane Eyre is a humble family, while Rochester is a nobleman with wealth and status. But Jane Eyre believes that love should not be bound by social status. She bravely expressed her love to Rochester. In her relationship with Rochester, she always emphasized that the two are spiritually equal. For example, in a conversation, Jane Eyre said to Rochester: "Is it because I am poor, unknown, mediocre, and thin, I have no soul or heart?... My heart is as rich as you, and my heart is as fulfilled as you!" This pursuit of equal love broke the barriers between social classes at that time.
Equal struggle in life: At Gateshead and Lowood Schools, Jane Eyre suffered unfair treatment from differences in social status. But she never surrendered and tried to break this inequality through her own resistance and efforts. At the Lowood School, she expressed dissatisfaction with the authoritarian administration of principal Brockhurst, and despite her meager strength, her spirit of resistance embodies the pursuit of equal rights.
Freedom of personality and spirit
Refusal to be an accessory: St. John's proposal was a temptation for Jane Eyre, because it meant a stable life and an improvement in social status. But Jane Eyre rejected him because she did not want to be an appendix to St. John's missionary cause and lost her personality and spiritual freedom. She understands that true freedom is the ability to live according to her own wishes and pursue her inner happiness.
Persist in self-pursuing: When facing various difficulties and temptations, Jane Eyre always sticks to herself and is not changed by external pressure and temptations. Whether it is her miserable life at her aunt's house or facing the twists and turns of love at Thornfield Manor, she adheres to her principles and beliefs and pursues a free life and love. Her spirit reflects her persistent pursuit of personality and spiritual freedom.
The choice between love and morality
Facing Rochester's concealment
Inner pain: After learning the truth about Rochester's marriage, Jane Eyre was in great pain. She loved Rochester deeply, but her moral sense told her that she could not accept such a reality. She fell into a difficult struggle between love and morality, on the one hand, with her deep feelings for Rochester, and on the other hand, with her moral bottom line.
Victory of morality: After painful thinking, Jane Eyre finally chose to stick to the moral bottom line and leave Rochester. She understands that love cannot be based on moral violations, even if it means giving up the person she loves deeply and enduring great pain. Her choice reflects her noble moral qualities and firm beliefs.
St. John's Proposal Test
The trade-off between gratitude and reason: St. John gave her help when she was wandering, and Jane Eyre was grateful to him. When St. John proposed, Jane Eyre was grateful for his help, but she knew that she had no love for St. John. She weighed the trade-off between gratitude and reason, and understood that marriage cannot be based solely on gratitude, but also on love.
Follow the true love in the heart: In the end, Jane Eyre rejected St. John's proposal and followed his inner pursuit of true love. She is unwilling to sacrifice her love and happiness for the sake of so-called responsibilities and obligations. Her choice once again reflects her rational thinking and firm choice between love, morality and responsibility.
Awakening of Female Consciousness
Resist unfair treatment
Childhood Resistance: At my aunt's house, Jane Eyre bravely resisted in the face of cousin John's bullying and her aunt's discrimination. She does not think that she should endure all injustice because she lives under others. She expresses her dissatisfaction through words and actions, such as quarrel with John and protesting to her aunt. This resistance reflects her breakthrough in the image of traditional women's docile and patient.
The struggle during school: At Lowood School, facing the authoritarian management and spiritual oppression of principal Brockhurst, Jane Eyre was unable to completely change the status quo, but she always maintained a sense of criticism and resistance to injustice. In her exchanges with Helen Pence, she also expressed dissatisfaction with the unreasonable system of the school, and this sense of resistance gradually developed into women's pursuit of their own rights.
Independent pursuit of personal value
Realization of economic independence: Jane Eyre became a tutor through her own efforts and achieved economic independence. She no longer relies on others to live and can get paid through her own labor. This was an important manifestation of women's pursuit of independence in the social context at that time. Financial independence gives her more choices in life and can arrange her life according to her own wishes.
Rich in the spiritual world: While pursuing economic independence, Jane Eyre also pays attention to the rich in the spiritual world. She studies diligently and constantly improves her knowledge level and ideological level. In her interactions with Rochester, she communicated and collided with Rochester in thought, not relying on Rochester's thoughts, and maintaining her own independent insights. Through her own struggle, she realized her personal value, showed the image of women in the new era, and set an example for women to fight for equal rights.
