A pocket of Hakka heritage in Hoklo country.
Laihui Elementary was founded in 1962 and has grown into one of the few schools in Yunlin County designated a Hakka Language Living School by the Executive Yuan Council of Hakka Affairs. The school is known for preserving Hakka culture and promoting Hakka-language puppet theater, and around 2022 it marked nearly 60 years of history while its campus underwent rebuilding. Its Hakka-heritage designation stands out in Erlun Township, an area otherwise dominated by Zhang-Zhou Hoklo settlement.
來惠國小創立於民國51年（1962年），是雲林縣少數獲行政院客家委員會指定為「客語生活學校」的學校之一，以傳承客家文化與推廣客語布袋戲聞名。約在2022年前後，學校在校舍重建之際邁入近一甲子的歷史。在二崙鄉這個以漳州福佬聚落為主的鄉鎮中，來惠國小的客家文化背景顯得格外獨特。

A Hakka pocket within a Hoklo township.
Notably, Laihui breaks the township's dominant Hoklo pattern as a designated Hakka-heritage school, reflecting pockets of Hakka settlement within Erlun's broader Zhang-Zhou farming community. This makes it a rare touchpoint of Hakka language and tradition amid a township otherwise defined by its Hoklo garlic and rice farming culture. See the Yunlin county page for more on the region.
