through an "off-sheet" connector!!!
goto place--->off sheet connector

It won't draw a net - just give them the same name so they are electrically connected. Check the netlist if you want to be sure.

i don't think the "out" connector of 89c51 is properly connected check its connection, it should show red cross before getting connected!!! moreover did you run your error check before moving on to pcb layout?? error will be shown if the pin is floating!!!
also put a net label on both the output wire of 89c51 and U4 to see in layout where is that particular net!!!

How can I run error check ?

yes like that.
compile the project it will give you error report at the end of compilation.
It shouldn't be a big issue anyhow...have a look :

Still there's no connection on PCB,
Is it right ?
Please have a look :

When I imported the net for PCB, these connection didn't appear...

Pin 17 from U5 should be connected to Pin 2 R1
but there's no connection in PCB, I have no idea since I follow the suggestion already, did I miss something here ? or altium has a bug ?

I created my own library but can not connect the pin, why is that ?

I miss connect between wire and component, now it works....thanks a lot guys

The solution is, put the right wire into the right component point...
