A Hakka farming-village school with a musical first.
Guangxing Elementary School serves a Hakka farming community in Meinong District. Its history stretches back decades — a 2015 news report referencing the school's "75 years of history" would place its founding around 1940, though this has not been independently confirmed. The school is best known for what is recognized as Taiwan's first Hakka-language school anthem, composed by musicians Lin Sheng-hsiang and Chung Tieh-chun as part of a broader effort to preserve and promote the Hakka language.
廣興國小服務美濃區的客家農村社區。校史可追溯數十年——根據2015年一則新聞報導提及學校「75年歷史」，推算創校年代約在1940年前後，惟此說法尚未獲得獨立確認。學校最為人所知的是擁有台灣第一首客語校歌，由音樂人林生祥與鍾鐵鈞共同創作，是推動客語保存與推廣的重要一環。
