sorry, I misstaked the font name., it works in the end. Using fontforge to find which chinese glyphs in the pfa file ( like sunex9a.pfa), then just input some of those glyphs will give correct ps file. If It can use groff's fallback mechanism, it should be works, however, I don't know how to do it. :)
