Chiu was born on 11 November 2002 in Hsinchu, Taiwan, into a sports-oriented family. His father, Chiu Wen-sheng, is a former professional baseball pitcher, and his mother studied dance. He has a younger brother, Chiu Shao-hua, who is also a badminton player.
Growing up, Chiu was exposed to various sports. Until the second grade of elementary school, he played golf. However, he broke his arm and had to stop playing for one year. After recovery, he joined his school's badminton team in third grade and fell in love with the sport. Like his father, he also played baseball. However, because he cannot tolerate the sun when playing outdoors, he chose to focus on badminton.
Originally a singles player, he switched to doubles when attending Shi-Yuan High School in Taichung. 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. He was then promoted to the first team before graduating high school. He now attends the National Taiwan University of Sport.
