In China, using the family name is a sign of respect and formality. It reflects the importance of family and social hierarchy in Chinese culture. Addressing someone by their family name typically indicates a more serious or respectful relationship, especially in formal settings. This practice underscores the cultural emphasis on collectivism and familial connections over individualism.
In China, the son's role is to carry on the family name and take over as head of household of the original family when his father can no longer make decisions.

A person's family name is also called their last name. In English the last name is last in order. First name is one's given name, then the middle name is next, then the last name.
