Sorry I forgot my manners in my previous posts...
Welcome to RetouchPRO! Hope you enjoy your stay here and make lots of friends.

As for how I did it... See post #8

another sample usage of the plug-in is here at post # 19

could you tell me how many ways are there to make the pic looked better?

thanks again and have a good day!

There is nothing more I can say or add
For the best results follow what Chain said " re-scan @ high resolution and 16 bit) (don't do any adjustments) to the image and NOT save it as JPEG.The lossy compression is messing up the image. You need access to some more fancy image devices that work on a different spectrum (if different inks were used the top one might become transparent at a wavelength that keeps the one below opaque)." Which is what the color deconvolution plug-in does.

BUT
As shown in the example I provided in my last post... there is nothing there!
Sorry I could not help further

- such an awesome plug-in you've got there. First time I hear of a software solution that can turn normal photographs into x-ray images!

To be serious, that plug-in would only work if the ink on top is not 100% opaque so that there is some color information from the underlying ink passing through (and thus captured by the scanner and saved in the image file).

You can contact the authors of the software at:
Mail@4N6site.com

Link seems to work fine here (Norway, from a danish IP).

The mentioned color deconvolution plug-in is from 4N6site.com. Check out some examples here.
Previous posts contain outdated links, but the plug-in is available through 4N6site.com.
You can also contact the site if you want to be absolutely sure you get the maximum out of the plug-in, or you can even have the plug-in demonstrated on your picture before you get it!
This particular image indeed was of very low quality, both in spatial and color resolution. JPEG compression was designed to throw out the kind of subtle color information that you are trying to recover.

Talk about targeted advertisement; so targeted that it's actually relevant and useful!

[4N6site]

Well I am only trying to fix broken links where the plug-in is mentioned already. I would not bring it up unless I had a result to show.
Your remark on the transparency of the ink on top is relevant as well. Turns out that in most cases there actually is some degree of transparency, even when you would not expect it. See for example this thread where ballpoint ink was removed from a photo with color deconvolution.
