天下無不散之宴席

On hearing Sue and Jim are retiring at the end of the year, I cannot help recalling the happy working environment at Dianying xinzuo in the mid-eighties and DIALOG in the mid-nineties. Most of Dianying xinzuo fellow editors were dispersed to the four corners of the earth to seek further education and a brighter professional future, whereas DIALOG colleagues were either laid off or quit after the company was bought twice in less than three years, and finally left California. 

The past and present experience has re-confirmed the truth in 天下無不散之宴席, i.e.,  All good things must come to an end. There is an end to everything.
