Built from disaster relief.
Hualong Elementary School opened in 1960, built with funds left over from disaster-relief donations that overseas Chinese communities sent after Taiwan's catastrophic "8/7 Flood" of 1959. Its founding story ties the school directly to one of Taiwan's worst 20th-century natural disasters and the community rebuilding that followed.
