Thirdly , limited time . we used our weekends and leisuring time to interview and do the paperwork as students had heavy school work and school had many things related to the moving . Fourthly , far interview site . We required our students the spirit of tenacity and mental preparation before interview as gastrodia elata grew in the mountains and forests which were usually far from our school.
