It also says Jierumi on his jersey, so technically his first name.

He was laughing because for some of the players on the team, they changed the spelling so it's in pinyin pronunciation and putting that on the jerseys.

e.g. Jeremy Smith is now Jieruimi Shimisi

My friend is a white-washed halfer, so he doesn't have a Chinese name. When he went to China for the first time, they apparently asked him for one. He said he didn't have one so they made one for him. We were joking he should've gave them another friend's Chinese name because as it turns out that would've been on the jerseys instead.
