simple code as:

It just get the first few letters, I guess it might be sth with the font?

Yes, it does seem to be caused by the font: STSong-Light, which this PDF primarily uses, does not appear to be extractable under the current version of pdfminer.six, which this library depends on. See this issue for details, and to follow along: #332
