I know it's very popular in Asia that use Beyer, Modern Courses by John Tompson, and Czerny. However, most of the students think that these kind of materials are really bored... is there any interested one?

Try Scarlatti sonatas. Have a look here for suggestions:

For the young beginner, you may like to look at the series A Dozen A Day. Each exercise has a stick figure drawing and a name to give the child a 'feeling' for the exercise.

ah hanon is a good one for finger exercise.. though it might be a bit dry, but if the student is motivated it's good for finger independence.
