From "South Elementary School" to Liren.
Liren Elementary School was founded in April 1942 under Japanese rule, originally named "South Elementary School" (南國民學校), having split off from Huwei Elementary School. It was renamed several times before finally settling on "Liren" in 1951. As one of the historic core schools of the Huwei Sugar Refinery-era township, its founding traces the Japanese-era town's rapid growth.
