Early Life
Chu's father, Wah, was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Wah and his mother moved to Hong Kong when he was one year old. In 1967, they emigrated to New York City when Wah was 16. Shortly after arriving, he met his future wife, Miriam, at a youth group meeting at a neighborhood church. Miriam is half Chinese and half Puerto Rican. Chu has one sister, Christina, and one brother, Richard. She also has extended family, including cousins Nick and Elizabeth Chu.
As a child, Chu participated in soccer and figure skating before transitioning into youth hockey. She graduated in 2001 from Choate Rosemary Hall. She deferred her acceptance into Harvard University until after the 2002 Winter Olympics. She graduated with honors in 2007 with a concentration in psychology.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
