It's right, but want I want to know is: how to hook this kind of 
function into org-contacts.el.

But I find a simple way: add alias properties to org-contacts.el

#+begin_example
* 你好
 :PROPERTIES: 
 :ALIAS: nh
 :EMAIL: address@hidden
 :PHONE: 15133912738 
#+end_example

When I search 'nh' ,I can get "你好" contact
