What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on May 11, 1957?
May 11, 1957 falls in the 丁酉 year — the Fire Rooster. Note that the zodiac year follows the solar calendar (changing at 立春, early February), not January 1, so dates in January and early February belong to the previous animal year.

The zodiac animal is one of eight characters in the full chart. The Day Master — here 癸 (Yin Water) — is the element that represents the person; classical BaZi reads everything else relative to it.
