Fu came to Singapore in 2003 and became a Singapore citizen in 2007 under the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme.[2] In 2017, she returned to China to marry another former Chinese shuttler who played for the Xiamen team. She expects to settle down in Xuzhou city, Jiangsu where her fiancé is from.[3]
Fu became the first female Singaporean player to win the Southeast Asian Games women's singles badminton gold medal in 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.
