Mandarin Chinese is a logographic language, meaning that each character represents a word or a morpheme. It is written using Chinese characters, which are formed by strokes and arranged in a square shape. Each character is composed of different components that give clues to its meaning and pronunciation.
It is the given name of a Chinese translated through Wade-Giles system. For example, the famous Chinese-American physicist is Chien-Shiung Wu (吴健雄), the 'Chien-Shiung (健雄)' in her name means healthy and strong.
Chinese names mostly consist of three characters. While not the norm, two and four character names can be found. The first character is usually the family name while the last one, two or three are the given name. As with everything there are some exception to the rule. There are times when in a four character name that the first two characters are the family name. Note that is a usually a rare occurrence.
An example of a pictographic language is Chinese, where characters are formed of graphemes that represent words or phrases, rather than sounds. Each character visually represents a concept or object, making it a form of writing that relies on visual symbols rather than an alphabet.

American Chinese food are usually not real Chinese food. American Chinese foods are changed to attract American customers. Sometimes, the meat is not real. Chinese foods also is less sweet. For example, American Chinese orange chicken are usually really sweet. Chinese people enjoy more salty foods and don't enjoy much sweets.
