Rebuilt after the ground shook.
Wufu Elementary opened in 1957 as a branch school before becoming independent in 1960, serving the villages of Wufeng District ever since. Like many schools near the epicenter of the 1999 921 earthquake, its campus was severely damaged in the disaster. The Tzu Chi Foundation funded its full reconstruction, and the rebuilt school reopened in 2001, giving Wufu a fresh campus that carries the memory of that recovery.
五福國小於民國46年（1957年）以分校形式設立，民國49年（1960年）獨立設校，長期服務霧峰區的村落。如同許多鄰近1999年九二一大地震震央的學校，校舍在災害中嚴重受損。慈濟基金會出資協助校舍全面重建，重建後的校園於民國90年（2001年）啟用，承載著這段重生的記憶。

🕊️ A Campus That Remembers 921
承載九二一記憶的校園
The school's very buildings are a legacy of Taiwan's most devastating modern earthquake and the wave of civic reconstruction that followed it.
Wufeng and the 921 earthquake.
Wufu Elementary's post-921 reconstruction is a direct legacy of the 1999 earthquake, now memorialized at the nearby 921 Earthquake Museum in Wufeng — one of several district schools rebuilt in the disaster's aftermath. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
