Both her parents are based in Shanghai. Her mother runs a wine machine distribution business and her father is an operations manager.[3][4]

Aside from being able to speak fluent English and Mandarin, she is also able to converse effectively in Cantonese.

Miss Universe

In 2016, Chou entered the Miss Universe Singapore pageant, where she won the title of Miss Universe Singapore 2016.

The judges found her answer to the question "What do you believe is the essence of a true Singapore woman?" during the Q&A segment to be best of the lot.[4] Her response was: "A woman who is confident in her own skin and not afraid of failure and to follow her dreams."

In January 2017, she represented Singapore at the 65th Miss Universe competition in Manila, Philippines,[5] but she did not place in the pageant.
