==Early life== Kuo was born in Yilan in 1993. She never knew her biological father, and was raised primarily by her grandmother, as her mother was frequently working. Kuo's given name, Hsing-chun, alludes to the difficult circumstances of her birth, as it sounds similar to hsing tsun (倖存), which means to have survived by luck or accident in Mandarin. When Kuo was born, her umbilical cord wound itself around her neck. In addition, her mother was in labor for over ten hours. The family moved repeatedly, living with several different relatives. Kuo began lifting weights in junior high school, and played a number of sports, including basketball, track and field, and soccer. She chose to specialize in weightlifting in high school.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Lu |first1=Tyson |last2=Lung |first2=Po-an |last3=Chiang |first3=Yi-ching |date=28 July 2021 |title=Kuo Thrilled at Winning Olympic Gold, but Could be Hungry for More |language=en |work=Focus Taiwan (CNA English News) |agency=Central News Agency |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202107280019 |access-date=30 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Chao |first1=Yen-hsiang |title=FEATURE/Imperfect but real: Kuo Hsing-chun accepts being 'not my old self' |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202408090014 |access-date=9 August 2024 |agency=Central News Agency |date=9 August 2024}}</ref> She attended the {{ill|Affiliated Physical Education Senior High School of National Taitung University|zh|國立臺東大學附屬體育高級中學}}.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Tseng |first1=Esther |translator1-last=Newell |translator1-first=Phil |title=Lifting Taiwan's Spirit |url=https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/en-us/Articles/Details?Guid=f63a051f-0cd7-41e5-9a9b-036d7f80e1f5&CatId=7&postname=Lifting%20Taiwan%27s%20Spirits-Weightlifting%20Gold%20Medalist%20Kuo%20Hsing-chun |access-date=23 April 2026 |work=Taiwan Panorama |date=November 2021}}</ref>
