I have a very long text line and it is more than 3000 Chinese
characters. I set wrap on to make it easier to read and edit. I find
it is hard to scroll smoothly it via the scroll bar or the mouse. I
try to use gf, gj, h and k to navigate, but it is still wired. When I
move to the bottom of the paragraph and I continue move down one line,
the whole paragraph disappears (the whole line was shoved out of the
window). I notice that when the first of a wrapped text line moves out
the window, the whole line will disappear. This is what I find makes
the whole thing crude. Is gVim designed to work in this approach? Is
it possible to make it scroll smoothly?

You might want to have a look at the 'display' option and its lastline
flag. The option is also mentioned in the intro.txt file under
window-contents.
