I used grafana to display data from cloudwatch. I found grafana shows value incorrectly, for example, from this graph, the test_value is 1.000 at time 2021-02-28 07:29:00, enter image description here

however, from this graph, u can see the test_value is still 1.000 at time 2021-02-28 10:29:00, while the bar graph shows there should be no test_value at this time slot; enter image description here

it is very confused to see this? maybe the grafana setting is wrong? any suggestion?

You have sparse metric, so Grafana is showing the closest previous value. I would switch Hower tooltip Mode to Single instead of All series to avoid confusion.

You can also use CloudWatch Metric Math with FILL() function to fill the missing values of a metric with the specified filler value when the metric values are sparse.
