About · 學校簡介

A mining-era school that closed with dignity, and a farewell song.

Yuemei Elementary was founded in 1964, and grew to nearly 1,000 students at its peak, driven by the local coal-mining industry that drew many mining families to the Xinyi District area. Over its 57 years, the school produced several notable alumni, including entertainer Bai Bingbing, writer and professor Lin Jianlong, and music producer Lin Chuili. As Keelung's coal era faded and the district's population declined — with three other elementary schools within just 1.1 km — enrollment steadily fell. The school closed permanently on August 1, 2021, with its final 33 students transferring to nearby Zhongxing Elementary. Before closing, the school produced a farewell video, "情牽月眉,展翼高飛" ("Bound to Yuemei, Wings Take Flight"), featuring testimonials from alumni. Its campus was later repurposed as a physical campus for a community college.

月眉國小創立於1964年(民國53年),受惠於當時興盛的煤礦業,吸引大量礦工家庭遷入信義區,全盛時期學生數近千人。57年校史中,學校孕育了多位知名校友,包括藝人白冰冰、作家暨教授林建隆、音樂製作人林垂立等。隨著基隆礦業式微、當地人口外流——加上周邊1.1公里內即有三所其他國小——學生人數逐年遞減。學校於2021年(民國110年)8月1日正式廢校,最後33名學生轉學至鄰近的中興國小。熄燈前,學校製作了一部名為「情牽月眉,展翼高飛」的告別影片,收錄校友的感言。校區其後轉作社區大學實體校區使用。

Local Culture · 在地文化

A working-class school in Keelung's coal country.

⛏️

Like nearby Shangzhi Elementary, Yuemei's history is tied to Keelung's coal-mining community rather than the port and fishing culture found elsewhere in the city — reflecting another facet of Keelung's resource-industry heritage. See the Keelung county page for more on the region.
