A school built for a community of refugees and veterans.
Zhongzhen Elementary was officially approved on May 18, 1961, after a preparatory committee formed the previous year. The school was built to serve the children of the "忠貞部隊" (Loyal Anti-Communist National Salvation Army) — Yunnan-based irregular forces that relocated to Taiwan via Thailand and Burma starting in 1954. It sits inside 忠貞新村 (Zhongzhen Village), the veterans' and refugee settlement built for those troops and their families, a community now also known for the nearby 忠貞市場 (Zhongzhen Market) and its distinctive Yunnanese-Burmese cuisine.
忠貞國小於1961年5月18日奉准設校，前一年即已成立籌備委員會。學校的興建是為了服務「忠貞部隊」（雲南反共救國軍，1954年起經泰國、緬甸撤退來台的非正規部隊）子女的教育需求。校址位於忠貞新村——專為安置該部隊官兵及眷屬所建的眷村聚落，如今這個社區也因鄰近的忠貞市場及其獨特的雲南、緬甸風味小吃而聞名。

The nearby Zhongzhen Market, known island-wide for its Yunnanese and Burmese cuisine, grew out of the same immigrant community the school was built to serve.
A multicultural thread in Hakka-majority Pingzhen.
Zhongzhen Elementary is inseparable from the Yunnanese-Burmese immigrant community it was built to serve in 1961 — a community that also produced the famous Zhongzhen Market, known for its distinctive cuisine, and which forms a striking multicultural thread within otherwise Hakka-majority Pingzhen.
