蘇惠漢
そけいかん
So Kei Kan

That's the onyomi... But it would make more sense to just phonetically transcribe the Chinese pronunciation of your name and then just use katakana to write it.

Well, A lot of Chinese students studying in Japan either adopt English names to use among their friends, and for official uses, they use the onyomi of their Chinese names. Sometimes it sounds really ridiculous though. A girl I knew, her Chinese name was something like "Lan Lan", but all the Japanese people were calling her "Ka Ka".

Just as quashio and lomsie have said, it makes alot more sense to use either your Chinese name written in Japanese, or use your English name.

Don't forget that Japanese have the choice of any combination of kanji/kana for their names, so get creative~ ;)
