What happens

In Pursuit of Peace (何日军再来) is a Singaporean period drama television series set in Japanese-occupied Singapore during World War II, and was first aired on MediaCorp Channel 8 from 9 March to 11 May 2001 on Friday evenings. The series is based on the 1999 book Eternal Vigilance: The Price of Freedom published by Asiapac Books which contains numerous eyewitness accounts of survivors of the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia. In contrast with The Price of Peace, a similar television series aired on MediaCorp Channel 8 in 1997, In Pursuit of Peace focuses more on developing the main characters' stories, while the former places greater emphasis on the historical aspects of the Japanese occupation.
