The Journey: Tumultuous Times (Chinese: 信约：动荡的年代, also known as Tumultuous Times) is Chinese language period drama which aired on MediaCorp Channel 8. It is the second of The Journey trilogy which chronicles the history of Singapore through the eyes of immigrants during the pre-World War II era until contemporary times. Production began on June 2014. It will begin on 24 November 2014 with a total of 30 episodes. It stars Shaun Chen, Jeanette Aw, Romeo Tan, Felicia Chin, Andie Chen, Carrie Wong and Chen Hanwei as the main casts of the series. The series will be Channel 8's 2014 year-end blockbuster celebrating 51 years of television. It is also partly sponsored by the Media Development Authority of Singapore.
The Journey: Tumultuous Times will depict the period of the Japanese Occupation where the adversity only served to strengthen the characters' survival instinct. When the British colonialists returned, stirrings of dissent became more apparent about their right to rule. In this period of uncertainty, there were vastly different ideals about how independence could be achieved. Yet despite all odds, they pulled through and survived.
This is the story of five young people unraveled over a period of 20 years (1940-1965) spanning World War II and Independence. Like its predecessor, Tumultuous Times will be the second periodical drama to use CGI. Major events that will happen in the drama include the Japanese occupation of Singapore, Hock Lee bus riots, student demonstrations, and social tensions.
The Journey will culminate in Singapore's nation building celebrations in 2015 with The Journey: Our Homeland, in time for Singapore's 50th National Day.
