I installed a new system in another partition, and use e2fsck to
recover that broken system partition, after the e2fsck completed, I
found that all my working files are lost(it's not strange, my system
become broken when I was trying to save my working files.) then i lost
interest in the broken system and formatted it so that I can install a
new system in it.

you are right, it should not be a viruses, maybe it's because my
harddisk is broken, how to check my harddisk? now I have installed a
new system on it and it is working fine now, but I'm afraid it will be
broken suddenly again after a few days, so I should know clear about
the situation of my harddisk. is there any tool to check the health of
my harddisk? thank you.
