Born to a middle-class family in Hong Kong, Shiu is the third of six children. His father Pak-yin Shiu was an Overseas Chinese construction materials businessman.

In 1987, Shiu began collaborating with Wong Yuk-long in creating popular comics such as Zui Quan (醉拳) and Oriental Heroes (龍虎門), on which films Drunken Master and Dragon Tiger Gate were based, respectively.
In 2003 Shiu acquired Rainbow International Ltd (彩虹國際) and changed its name to 變靚D控股 Ltd, a body slimming company.
