I present here a personal perspective of the evolution of the two-light reaction two-pigment scheme for the electron transport in oxygenic photosynthesis - as I have lived through it - first as a graduate student of Robert Emerson, from September 1956-January 1959, and then of Eugene Rabinowitch from February 1959-September 1960. I have provided here some of the key published work in my way and have also provided a few photographs. It is essential to remind ourselves upfront that different individuals may have different recollections of the same event (, the Japanese movie 'Rashomon' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon). Thus, I encourage others to write about their perspective. Further, I recognize, upfront, the support and encouragement I have received from Robert Blankenship for writing this perspective, and from Győző Garab for submission of this story to . I begin my perspective with a dedication to Robert Emerson, whose pioneering work led to the concept of the two-light reaction two-pigment system in oxygenic photosynthesis.
在此，我将从个人角度讲述光合放氧过程中电子传递的双光反应双色素体系的演变历程——这是我亲身经历的——最初，在1956年9月至1959年1月期间，我是罗伯特·爱默生的研究生，随后，在1959年2月至1960年9月期间，我是尤金·拉宾诺维奇的研究生。我以自己的方式呈现了一些关键的已发表研究成果，还提供了一些照片。必须提前提醒我们自己，不同的人对同一事件可能会有不同的回忆（就像日本电影《罗生门》https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon 那样）。因此，我鼓励其他人写下他们的观点。此外，我在此预先感谢罗伯特·布兰肯希普对我撰写此观点的支持与鼓励，以及久洛·高劳伯帮我将这个故事投稿至 。我以献给罗伯特·爱默生作为我这段叙述的开篇，他的开创性工作催生了光合放氧过程中双光反应双色素体系的概念。
