Can you also post the output of "fcitx5-diagnose"?
Sorry, I still can't type Chinese..
And by the way, can I have your WeChat id ~

I've set the environment variable like prosup , but I still can get it work.

cat /etc/environment
#
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

Thank you prosup, once.
Fcitx5 worked now. Copying the fcitx-autostart.desktkop file to ~/.config/autostart get it worked.

I do this as wiki said
"If fcitx failed to start with your desktop automatically or if you want to change the parameters to start fcitx, configure autostart or edit the fcitx-autostart.desktop file in your ~/.config/autostart/ directory (copy it from /etc/xdg/autostart/ if it does not exist yet)."
