When I login to my wiki page to find my technical notes, it tells me:

I am wondering is there something wrong the system or it's deleted by mistake? 

I've write some interface API and tech log here, but now I lost them,it's really painful. 

Could you pls help to find out what happened. Thank you

What is the URL of the article to which you are referring?  Can you just restore it from history?  Since it is a wiki, for the most part, anybody can edit anything.

URL (was listed in the log message he pasted above) was https://wiki.mozilla.org/China_pack_statics_system

I just restored the page.  Looks like Mvl thought he was cleaning up spam and didn't realize it was legitimate Mozilla China content.

Yes, sorry about the deletion.
You might consider putting the page in a namespace, so it's easier to see what it belongs to. Spammers tend to not use namespaces, while most legitimate pages do use them.

If you're going to be putting pages on wikimo, it's better to put them under a namespace. We delete stuff not under namespaces all the time.
