Shou did not start attending martial arts classes until he was 19. He studied Kenpo (Karate) while attending California State University, Los Angeles. He soon realized that Karate did nothing for him so he decided to quit. A year and a half later, he saw a demonstration by a group of Wu Shu practitioners from Beijing. He is purported to have said, "This is Chinese!"[citation needed] He was so inspired to train in this discipline that in 1981, just before starting his senior year at California State University, he sold his car and used the money to spend a quarter studying Wu Shu in China. His parents did not know his true whereabouts until his aunt wrote Robin's mother telling her that her son was in Nanjing. Shou returned to California State University, Los Angeles and obtained his B.S. in civil engineering. He spent a year and a half in this field and he was convinced he needed a different career. He found computer and electronics boring. He was always trying to follow the ideal; finishing school, getting a job, getting married. He was unhappy and the only thing that kept him going was martial arts. He soon took off to Hong Kong on vacation. Soon after his arrival, he was offered a chance to appear in a movie as a stuntman. He was offered job after job, and for his first two years in Hong Kong, he played big parts in action films. He lived in a little Kowloon rooftop apartment for $250 a month. When Shou is not making films, he takes ceramic classes, paints, welds and does woodworking.
- Shou nació en Hong Kong, es el cuarto hijo de un sastre de Shangai y un ama de casa. Su familia se mudó a los Estados Unidos en 1994. Su primera casa en Los Ángeles era un apartamento de 2 dormitorios cerca de los Juegos Olímpicos de Vermont, que ahora se conoce como Koreatown. Shou fue la escuela secundaria en Palm Springs High School en Palm Springs, California. Shou no asistía al empezar las clases de artes marciales hasta que fue el 19. Estudió Kenpo (Karate), mientras que asistía a la Universidad Estatal de California, Los Angeles. Pronto se dio cuenta de que el Karate no hizo nada para él por lo que decidió dejar de fumar. Un año y medio más tarde, vio una manifestación de un grupo de profesionales de Wu Shu de Beijing. Ellos presuntamente han dicho, "Este es chino!" Estaba tan inspirado para capacitar esta disciplina que en 1981, justo antes de comenzar su último año en la Universidad Estatal de California, vendió su coche y utilizaría el dinero para gastar una cuarta parte el estudio de Wu Shu en China. Sus padres no sabían su verdadero paradero hasta que su tía escribió a la madre de Robin diciéndole que su hijo fue en Nanjing. Shou regresó a la Universidad Estatal de California, Los Angeles y obtuvo su BS en ingeniería civil. Pasó un año y medio en este ámbito y está convencido de que necesitaba una carrera. Encontró que el ordenador y la electrónica eran aburridos. Siempre estaba tratando de seguir el ideal de terminar la escuela, conseguir un trabajo, casarse... Era infeliz y lo único que le pasa se mantienen en las artes marciales. Pronto se iría a Hong Kong para la planificación de vacaciones y pensar. Poco después de su llegada, sin embargo, se le ofreció la oportunidad de aparecer en una película como Stuntman. Le ofrecieron puestos de trabajo tras trabajo, y para sus primeros dos años en Hong Kong, que ha desempeñado gran parte de las películas de acción. Vivía en un pequeño apartamento en la azotea Kowloon de 250 dólares al mes. Shou cuando no estaba haciendo películas, tomaba clases de cerámica, pinturas, soldaduras y no la madera. Le gusta hacer todo lo que implica trabajar con las manos.
