A school that crossed the strait with an air force.
Zhuqiang Elementary traces its origins to 1945, when it was founded as a "children's school" attached to the Republic of China Air Force's Anti-Aircraft School in Guiyang, China. As the Chinese Civil War turned against the Nationalist government, the Air Force school relocated to Hualien in late 1948, and its attached children's school reopened in October 1949 as the "Air Force Dependents' Elementary School." The school came under Hualien County control in 1966 and was renamed Zhuqiang to honor Air Force martyr Wen Zhuqiang — a name it carries to this day.
鑄強國小的歷史可追溯至1945年，當時作為中華民國空軍防空學校（設於中國貴陽）附設的「子弟學校」而創立。隨著國共內戰情勢逆轉，空軍防空學校於1948年底遷至花蓮，附屬子弟學校也於民國38年（1949年）10月在花蓮復校，命名為「空軍子弟小學」。民國55年（1966年），學校改隸花蓮縣政府管轄，並更名為「鑄強國小」，以紀念空軍烈士溫鑄強——這個校名沿用至今。

A military-migrant thread in Hualien's history.
Its origin as a Nationalist Air Force dependents' school is a distinctive strand of Hualien City's mid-20th-century military-migrant history, standing alongside the Dachen refugee heritage found at nearby Fuxing Elementary.
