Hi Hongtao,
this is more a math question than a Mathematica question ;)
The system has 3 stationary points: saddle at (0,0) and 2 spirals at
(-1,0) and (1,0). The initial conditions (+-0.1, +- 0.16) are chosen
such that they lie very close to the stable and unstable manifolds of
the saddle point at (0,0). That's why you see the nice cross at
(0,0).
I don't know how much you tried to change them, but as long as you
keep them inside the plot range -3<=x0<=3 and -3<=y0<=3, you should
see the trajectory in the plot.
Best,
Norbert
