Biography

While a journalist of TTV World News, Chu took some photographs at a lesbian bar without disclosing it to the people featured in the images. This led to some lesbians being publicly revealed, and even resulted in some suicides. Additionally, she implied that Taiwanese actress Pan Mei Chen was a lesbian. Chu was confirmed to have broken the ethical standards of journalism and proceeded to leave TTV World News.

Chu became the news director and host for CSTV after she left TTV. Meanwhile, she joined the New Party, becoming a Taipei City Councillor in 1994. She came to prominence when she exposed the "Song Qi-li event" in 1996. This concerned the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Frank Hsieh, who received $16 million from Song Qi-li as a fee for serving him as legal counsel. Also, the wife of Frank Hsieh, Yu Fang-chih, wrote Cosmic Light for Song to seek profits.

Chu was MC in a rally for the 1998 Taipei mayor election. In order to help the New Party candidate, Yang Tai-shun, get elected, Chu recorded a show reporting news of the New Party and Yang Tai-shun at 11:00 p.m. that night, which violated the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act. This act forbade any coverage of the rally after 10:00 p.m. that night.

Chu became Director of Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Hsinchu City Hall in 1998. At the time, she was rumored to be dating the mayor of Hsinchu, James Tsai. She was nominated by the New Party as a candidate for a legislative seat in Taichung but failed to be elected.

Chu left office in 2001 due to fallout from a sex tape released by Scoop Weekly showing her having sex with her married lover, businessman Tseng Chung-ming. She eventually countersued the publication for libel.

In 2002, she began a career as a singer. She later returned to Taiwan.

In June 2005, Chu married a man named Simon who was fourteen years her junior. After they married, they ran a cafeteria together in England.

In 2007, she hosted TV news for Macau Asia Satellite Television.

Chu went back to Taiwan to meet Shen Rong, publisher of the 2001 tabloid exposure, who was newly released from the prison on February 26, 2008.

In July 2008, Macau Asia Satellite Television announced that Chu was being removed from the position of Vice-Master of television and would be sent to host a talk show in Shenzhen. However, she denied this when she was interviewed on October 27, 2008.

In February 2009 Chu went back to Taiwan to host the 9th Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau Business Cooperation Conference. At that time, she looked unwell and she explained later that it was because she was under severe pressure because of owing money on three housing loans in Taiwan and another in America. Chu was recalled by the Macau Asia Satellite Television in May 2009 at the end of her contract. In Nov 2009, she admitted her marriage with her ex-husband Simon had only lasted for a year and a half and that the ownership of the cafeteria was wholly Simon's.

Chu issued a statement declaring that she had resigned the position of CEO of Hubei Television on September 2, 2010. However, the director of Hubei Television said that Chu had never been CEO and that they didn't actually know Chu at all. In fact, Hubei Television had no position titled CEO.

On October 29, 2012 Chu announced her comeback.

Family

In June 2005, Chu married Simon, a man fourteen years her junior. In November 2009, she admitted the marriage had lasted only briefly. She later married Yu-shuanglun on July 6, 2011. Together they have a son named Qi-Rong.
