Thanks you very much for your reply. it help me a lot!
I will have a try to `ssl-bump' in recent days.

Although, i still have one question about squid.

if speed is the major reason which can not access twitter in my android, 
But, i can access twitter from my laptop firefox (proxy to squid with
local squid), and I can access google and some blocked website from my
android too. I

so, i want to ask, is there any unsuitable config exist, make my android
phone network access is blocked by china GFW(Great Fire Wall) when I
access some special website which not need too many band width. (e.g. facebook, twitter)

Thanks.
