Is that a Windows host or Linux?

Both the host and my pc are Windows

If you want to share the same console, GNU screen needs to be configured in a
  *
certain way. And that's not an easy setup.

What should I do for that? I couldnt find any information on the Internet

I would strongly recommend to look into tmux instead.

I have tried tmux but also meet more problem. Sometimes even I try to reattach 
a session opened in the same local console (no ssh thing), it fails and told me 
"open terminal failed: not a terminal". But sometimes it can reattach correctly 
in the local console, when I try ssh it says "open terminal failed: not a 
terminal" again. It made me confuse. What should I do to achieve my intended 
with tmux?

That issue has been fixed like 3 to 5 years ago.

screen -aS main
  *
^A^D
  *
screen -aDR main

Seems not work for me. After execute "screen -aDR main" in ssh, the console 
frozen directly
