Ok, so in Chinese, the surname comes before the name. Like say the name 李高兴 (Li Gāoxìng). The surname is 李 (Li) and the person's name is 高兴 (Gāoxìng). In the western world, legally their name would be written as Gaoxing Li (even though the first name is two syllables the space is omitted.) Source: 8 years of Chinese School.
