At the age of eight, he moved to Richmond, British Columbia where he still resides today. After trying a variety of sports, Wu finally settled with swimming. He wanted to swim "because it was an individual sport; if you fail it’s because of yourself; if you excel it’s because of yourself" Wu said. Since retiring from competition in 2004, Wu has given a speech at a local school part of the RCMP’s Sports Event which brings athletes to schools to give inspiration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.richmond-news.com/paralympic-medalist-inspires-young-muslims-1.648159 )〕Wu also has a part-time job at Home Depot which he has been sponsored.〔 He worked three years in the phone centre and has been doing shipping and receiving work since 2004.
