For each line, if Chinese appears on the left, then there will be an incorrect alignment on the right

Could you just copy and paste the output from your terminal please?! A screenshot is usually not helpful when trying to reproduce am issue.

I don’t know why multiple spaces are combined into one in github. I copied the output into a file, hoping to display normally
error.txt

The problem seems to be the width of the characters in your font. The kanji simply take more space than the roman characters, as it's not a truly mono-space font I guess.

GNU ls seems to circumvent this problem by using tabs to display the file names.
