Keep your name as it is Jian Shou. As you say it is you; it

Keep your name as it is Jian Shou. As you say it is you; it is central to your identity.

It may take a short moment for people to ask, if they need to, to clarify your family name and your given name. We English speakers - I am from UK -need to learn that people in different places have different name structures, and recognise it is a central part of honour of another culture to learn how that culture's name is made up, and learn how to pronounce it. As you say, Bill Gate's name is not changed in China, and in all my trips to China no one has ever asked me to change mine.
