This is not UTF-8, but GB2312 encoding. It wold be better if your 
partner switches to a zh_CN.UTF-8 locale and uses this as default. Then 
the filenames would be in UTF-8 instead of GB2312 and you can display 
them on your english system if you use en_US.UTF-8 as locale.
I don't know which input method she uses, but chinput also works under 
UTF-8 locale.

for converting a bunch of filenames from GB2312 into UTF-8, take a look 
at the 'convmv' package in debian.

Cheers
