The Chinese place the surname first. That's why it's Wang ZhiZhi (Wang being his family name). In America, of course, we do it the other way around.

Since I don't speak mandarin, I really don't know the correct pronunciation of ZhiZhi. "zshoo-zshoo", "jew-jew", "gee-gee"..I've heard different people pronounce it differently. I'd have to ask my parents.
