Answer
Hi Zhang,

Unfortunately, you are probably working with a corrupt file.

You can try to open a new blank document and use File>Place to  place the problem document into the blank document.

Make sure that you DO NOT check LINKED when placing.

If that does not work, there is little you can do.  Sometimes it is because of problems with a font used in the document or an embedded graphic used in the document.

Wish I could help more!

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
