For example, with emacs –debug-init , I got this: Debugger entered–Lisp error:(invalid-read-syntax )) eval-buffer(#<buffer

For example, with emacs --debug-init, I got this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error:(invalid-read-syntax ")")
  eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "/home/wilbeibi/.emacs" nil t);   Reading at buffer position 9220

The question is: How to solve the problem each time I got the error explanation like “Reading at buffer position XXXX”. How to jump to that position?

BTW,To this specific problem, the things I did:
1. use ‘C-M-e’ to check each function.
2. Replace any Chinese ) with )

    M-x goto-char 
    

    Help:

    goto-char is an interactive built-in function in `C source code’.

    It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <goto> <go-to-pos>.

    (goto-char POSITION)

    Set point to POSITION, a number or marker.
    Beginning of buffer is position (point-min), end is (point-max).

    The return value is POSITION.
