Chiu was born on 11 November 2002 in Hsinchu, Taiwan,[3] into a sports-oriented family. His father, Chiu Wen-sheng, is a former professional baseball pitcher, and his mother studied dance.[4][5][6] He has a younger brother, Chiu Shao-hua, who is also a badminton player.[5][6][7]
Growing up, Chiu was exposed to various sports.[4][5][6] Until the second grade of elementary school, he played golf. However, he broke his arm and had to stop playing for one year.[4][6][7] After recovery, he joined his school's badminton team in third grade and fell in love with the sport.[4][5][6] Like his father, he also played baseball. However, because he cannot tolerate the sun when playing outdoors, he chose to focus on badminton.[4][5][6]
Originally a singles player, he switched to doubles when attending Shi-Yuan High School in Taichung.[5][6] He said he likes the speed of badminton and enjoys "the back-and-forth ball speed, flat block, and fast-paced offensive and defensive mode" of doubles.[5] He was then promoted to the first team before graduating high school.[4][6] He now attends the National Taiwan University of Sport.[4][5]
In June, Chiu and Lin advanced to their first BWF World Tour tournament final at their home event, the Taipei Open.[14] They finished as the runner-up after losing to Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei in straight games.[15]
In August, Chiu was announced as the new partner for Olympic champion Wang Chi-lin following the retirement of Wang's former partner, Lee Yang.[6][17] The duo's debut tournament was the Japan Open.[17]
The BWF World Tour, which was announced on 19 March 2017 and implemented in 2018,[20] is a series of elite badminton tournaments sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The BWF World Tour is divided into levels of World Tour Finals, Super 1000, Super 750, Super 500, Super 300 (part of the HSBC World Tour), and the BWF Tour Super 100.[21]
