Gnus uses utf-8 encoded non-ASCII group names internally, those
encoded names are saved in the .newsrc.eld file, and they are
decoded by utf-8 when displaying. I had no problem when I once
tried nnrss groups with Japanese names. So, I cannot imagine
what is happening with Zhang Wei, sorry.

It is caused because of the default value of
`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist'. It can be fixed with the
following:
(push '("\\`nndoc\\(\\+?[^:]+\\)?:")
gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist)
However, I'm not quite sure making it the new default is
generally good.
