You posted one picture that doesn’t really provide any useful info. We need to see the axle, headtube, and the decals to identify what it is
Contact the manufacturer, you may need to learn mandarin first.
The five basic things you’re looking to match on a suspension fork are wheel size, steerer size, offset(axle to steering axis), axle type, brake mount(some flexibility with adapters). Then you’ve got travel (sometimes adjustable), spring rate(requires parts for big adjustment on coil forks), and generally beefiness/stanchion size.
You’re probably gonna want help from a shop or the manufacturer.
Google your bike, see if you can find a listing with “technical specifications”. Often you’ll find the specs you’re looking for or at least the info on what fork is on it and order a new one or find something like it.
Apart from the fact we can see your fork is broken your photo doesn’t give any information.
Steerer size & type (straight or tapered)
QR or Through axle
Fork travel
Wheel size
And these are just basics. Your budget will have a massive effect on what you can do, for example if your bike is entry level or lower many forks on the market could be many times the value of your entire bike just to buy the fork.
