Personal life

After winning the 2024 Thailand Masters,{{cite news |last1=Li |first1=Chien-chung |last2=Kao |first2=Evelyn |title=Taiwan badminton ace Chou wins men's singles title at Thailand Masters |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202402040010 |access-date=9 February 2024 |agency=Central News Agency |date=4 February 2024}} Chou revealed that he had been diagnosed with early-stage colorectal cancer the previous year and underwent a colectomy.

Chou was baptized as a Christian in 2012.{{cite news |last1=Li |first1=Chien-chung |last2=Chao |first2=Yen-hsiang |title=BADMINTON/'I made it through': Chou Tien-chen conquers cancer on way to title |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202402050017 |access-date=9 February 2024 |agency=Central News Agency |date=5 February 2024 |quote=During a break at the beginning of 2023, Chou realized he had not had a full physical for two or three years, so he decided to have one done. To his surprise, he was diagnosed with early stage colorectal cancer after undergoing a colonoscopy, and soon had an operation to remove the cancerous part of his colon. "Actually, the other doctor I saw then thought the cancer was not bad and told me to have a follow-up appointment a year later. But that didn't make sense to me, so I decided to do the operation," Chou recalled. To prevent the cancer from spreading, the doctor cut more of Chou's large intestine than usual and had to use a clip that can be absorbed by human body to help the internal wound heal. "Perhaps it was because I did enough good deeds so I could witness the Lord's glory, or perhaps what I did was not enough so the Lord let me find it out earlier so as to live a bit longer and do more," said Chou, a pious Christian, of his cancer, able to joke about himself in hindsight. Chou was baptized in 2012 at Kao's suggestion after undergoing a slump, according to Christian Daily.}}
