A name that remembers overseas generosity.
Qiaozhong Elementary was founded in 1950 in Tanzi District. Its name owes to a later chapter in the school's history: after the catastrophic 1959 "8/7 Flood" devastated central and southern Taiwan, the school was one of 31 nationwide rebuilt with donations from overseas Chinese communities — relief that is remembered directly in its name, which carries the character 僑 ("overseas Chinese").
僑忠國小創立於民國39年（1950年），位於潭子區。校名由來與後續歷史有關：民國48年（1959年）「八七水災」重創中南台灣後，本校是全台獲海外僑胞捐款重建的31所學校之一，這份義舉直接反映在校名中的「僑」字上。

A wave of charity that rebuilt a region.
Qiaozhong Elementary's very name commemorates a wave of overseas Chinese charity that helped rebuild flood-stricken schools across central and southern Taiwan after 1959 — a piece of Taiwan's postwar history embedded permanently in a local school's identity. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
