Dear Kinney: Thank you so much! I already learn a lot since my system crash. I would like to thank all people helping me or giving me any suggestions. If I choose re-install at the beginning based on the wiki instruction, I will not learn anything through that. I plan to try reinstall the problem packages, and upgrade the system. By the way, I am thinking the upgrading process will only influence the system, not my data partition. I still need suggestions, am I think that correct? Or lack of experience. Thank you all again!

Hi, I can reinstall the system any time, but I can learn more when trying to fix the problem. Thank you very much! Ah. Sorry. I didn't read this before I posted.
But I will say this while I'm here. Yes. You can learn a lot by going through the fix. But, believe me, you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn systemd once you get your system up and going! So don't think your learning opportunities are over. :-) It just depends on how soon you want to get on with it. Again. Good luck. -- Kinney
