The Journey: The Tumultuous Times 信约：动荡的年代 Synopsis

The Journey: Tumultuous Times deftly captures Singapore’s historical period starting from 1941 right up to 1965. The aerial bombing of Singapore by Japanese aircraft whirls the once peaceful island into chaos. Tianpeng (Li Nan Xing) and Tianying (Allen Chen) step forward to challenge the invaders but their anti-Japanese activities soon aggravate the Japanese army and while Tianpeng manages to escape to Indonesia, Tianying is brutally slaughtered.

The intensity of the story snowballs as Tianying’s children Zhang Min (Felicia Chin) and Zhang Jia (Shaun Chen) lose each other while they flee from danger. Zhang Min is fortunate to cross paths with Hong Dangyong (Andie Chen) and Hong Minghui (Jeanette Aw) who stand by her during her most difficult days. With a twist of fate Zhang Jia is saved by Hu Weiren (Chen Han Wei) and grows up as the son of a man who played a part in his father’s death. Zhang Jia’s name is changed to Hu Jia and he soon becomes a notorious underworld figure.

Tianpeng’s son Zhang Yan (Romeo Tan) returns from his studies in England and joins the Legal Department as Prosecutor—a sharp contrast from Hu Jia who reigns the underworld. While their fathers had once worked hand in hand, their sons enter into unbending conflict, creating a fiercely tense outline for the show. The Journey: Tumultuous Times presents significant historical events in Singapore and displays the patriotism and devotion of the nation’s pioneers, showcasing the difficult journeys they embarked to transform the island.

新加坡的独立步步艰辛。日军飞机突袭新加坡，使狮城陷入动乱。张天鹏（李南星）和张天鹰（陈祎伦）兄弟因助抗日激怒日军。天鹏逃往印尼，天鹰却惨遭日军屠杀。天鹰的孩子张敏（陈凤玲）和张佳（陈泓宇）在逃亡时失散。张敏认识了洪当勇（陈邦鋆）和洪明慧 （欧萱），而他们陪她走过了最落魄的岁月。张佳则被胡为人（陈汉玮）所救，并认这个害死自己父亲的人为父。张佳改名胡佳，成为黑道一霸。天鹏的儿子张晏（陈罗密欧）学成归国成为检察官，与胡佳大相迳庭。他们的父亲曾经出生入死，但他们却卷入了无法解决的纠纷。

本剧描绘了日据时代到战后的时事变迁和许多历史性事件，并展现了建国一代对国家的付出和爱国精神，以及他们蜕变这篇土地的艰巨过程。
