How to convert a '\u5f71\u89c6\...' in to its real meaning?(python)

I want to convert 

'[["[FK\u5f71\u89c6\u51fa\u54c1]\u7576\u65fa\u7238\u7238-17.\u7ca4\u8bed\u5b57\u5e55.TV-RMVB.rmvb", "205.53 MB"]]'

to

'[["[[FK影视出品]當旺爸爸-17.粤语字幕.TV-RMVB.rmvb", "205.53 MB"]]'

Because I make a mistake that I use json.dumps(file_list) convert a list object to str, and save the result to db.I find this mistabke until using sphinx to index these data...
I have tried use data.decode('utf-8'), but it seems not work.

Just decode from JSON again:

>>> import json
>>> json.loads('[["[FK\u5f71\u89c6\u51fa\u54c1]\u7576\u65fa\u7238\u7238-17.\u7ca4\u8bed\u5b57\u5e55.TV-RMVB.rmvb", "205.53 MB"]]')
[['[FK影视出品]當旺爸爸-17.粤语字幕.TV-RMVB.rmvb', '205.53 MB']]

You don't have UTF-8 encoded data, you have JSON-encoded data, which uses \uhhhh escape sequences to represent Unicode codepoints.
