Yes. For example, "Hu" is Hu Jin Tao's family name. "Mao" is Mao Ze Dong's family name. Sometimes the names become Westernized. For example, the Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee is actually called Li Ang in China.

How many surname do spanish people have?

Most Spanish speaking people have two surnames. Spaniards have three names. A given name, followed by the father's first surname, and ending with the mother's first surname. None of the names change with a marriage. For example, if Fernando Pena Reyes (father) and Maria del Pilar Serrano Ortiz (mother) have a son Juan, his entire name would be; Juan (given name) Pena (father's first surname) Serrano (mother's first surname). Incidentally, Maria del Pilar is one name even though it's three words. Women frequently have first names with multiple names, i.e. Maria del Carmen, Maria Victoria, Maria Christina etc.
