Can you please be more specific? What are the results of the fsck? It looks
to me like your filesystem has a bit of corruption.

You are right. I start the system with single-user mode, umounted the /home, and performed e2fsck and fsck manually. It returns lots of errors during checking. Now it looks like everything is fixed.

Thank you guys so much!
