She participated in the 1977 Miss Hong Kong Pageant and became the first candidate to win both the title as well as a second, Miss Photogenic.

After 32 years, she was invited to crown for the Miss Hong Kong 2009 because of Edelweiss Cheung's, Miss Hong Kong 2008 poor working attitude and image and her tarnishment of the reputation of Miss Hong Kong.
She is the former wife of the late tycoon and philanthropist Henry Fok's son, Timothy, with whom she has three sons, Kenneth, Eric and Jeremy.
Chu and Fok announced their divorce in September 2006, after more than two decades of marriage. She remarried, to Hong Kong real estate billionaire Vincent Lo (Chinese: 羅康瑞) of Shui On Group, in Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Singapore in November 2008.[1]
