Besides, it is basically impossible for you to join the American entertainment circle, although it is not completely impossible. If you succeed in becoming an American citizen. Then your China nationality will automatically expire. Because China law does not recognize dual nationality. So when you get American citizenship, you lose China citizenship. You need an English name to become an American citizen. That's your legal name. Besides, your Chinese name has no practical significance. It's just a code name You can use it or not. You won't be looked down upon because of your poor academic performance. Because you will be looked down upon in America.
