I'm removing the screen capture, but the difference was that the group and
user names showed only "?" while filenames showed actual Chinese
characters (rather than "?", as they were flattened to in the above
display).  Do those user and group names actually contain Chinese
characters, or is it just a case of your /etc/passwd and /etc/groups being
out-of-date so that cygwin really does think they are "????????"?  With a
quick glance at the ls source code, ls doesn't do anything special to
non-ascii characters in group and user names.  So maybe you need to read
up on the use of mkgroups and mkpasswd.
