Generally, you need to book China train tickets with complete full name identical to your passport name. So it is available for you to just fill one name.

They offer booking service but not direct paper ticket issuing. You need to wait quite some time. They send your request to their ticket office and will give you booking number after their ticket office booked your ticket well. You cannot get paper ticket there directly.
