Hi, Paul: I have run ls -la /, and I do see /bin->usr/bin, ..., it seems that's a good news, cheers! Thank you so much!

Thanks Paul! The reason why I copy /bin/* to /mnt/bin is my/mnt/bin is not exists. I don't know what happens, it seems this is deleted when I try to fix my problem. I will see if my system works well, if not, I will be back again :)
This is because everything in /bin was moved to /usr/bin, and /bin was supposed to become a symlink to /usr/bin. When you do this: ls -la / Do you see: /bin -> usr/bin /lib -> usr/lib /lib64 -> usr/lib /sbin -> usr/bin Hopefully, you will. If not, you need to do some more work.
Indeed, I learn a lot and now becomes more confident! I will tell my adviser to do the backups for all the systems. If someday I lose the data, I will share that "good news" to you immediately, and I believe that will make a lot of fun for you and the community!
