-- 1.
your major problem is, that the image named "EEEHE.png" (whatever this might be) cannot be found on the screen:
near the end of the error message:
FindFailed: can not find Pattern("EEEHE.png").similar(0.7).targetOffset(-94,7) Line 2,

-- 2.
type cannot be used to type some characters found on the standard US-keyboard layout (read: faq 933).

-- 3.
when finally trying paste() instead, you might try to use unicode strings:
in your case:
chineseString = u"中国"
paste(chineseString)

sorry for the mistake at --2., should read:

-- 2.
type can only be used to type some characters found on the standard US-keyboard layout (read: faq 933).

my question is solved,

use variable,define variable and set value to the variable

example

chineseString = u"中国"
paste(chineseString)
