Maybe this picture tells more. Please note the red circles.
Agree with you Chen Lan but still have one question :
Why one of the micro booster is still in place ?
Excuse my ignorance about the fairing design, but where are these microboosters and what is their precise role?
Great images and discussion, by the way.
During a manned flight, when the fairing separation occured, there are some little booster on both part who ignite to avoid collision between the fairing and the payload.

No, these "micro boosters" are not for separation. They are escape motors in case of emergencies. Shenzhou has two escape modes: the low altitude mode (T-0 to T-120)depends on the escape tower, and the high altitude mode (T-120 to T-200, after jettison of the escape tower) uses these “micro boosters”(4 FG—59 and 2 GF—5 motors). While fairing separation are same as other CZ models, all using explosive bolts and spring mechanism.
Thanks for this detailed explanation Chen Lan
Thanks from my part too, great insights
