                             \end{document}                    

maybe there's something need to workaround with standalone package??
OR tell me SOME WAY to render CJK with manim please

[henrikmidtiby]

For manim to include anything rendered by Tex in an animation, the text is first converted to svg through the pdflatex program.
I think you should be able to use the xelatex program instead, as that has better support for unicode chars.
I can compile the document given below and get an output where the chinese chars are included in the output.

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\begin{document}
还有一些CJK的\LaTeX
\end{document}

Which results in the following output:

So I think the path forward for you is to use xelatex for compiling the latex document (instead of pdflatex) and ensure that the latex package xeCJK is included in the preamble.
