Toksun (Toqsun) County (Uyghur: پىتوقسۇن ناھىيىسى, ULY: Toqsun Nahiyisi, UYY: Tok̡sun Nah̡iyisi?) is a county within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the China (PRC) and is under the administration of the Turpan Prefecture. It contains an area of 16,128 km2 (6,227 sq mi). According to the 2002 census, it then had a population of 110,000. Its location in the bottom of the Turfan Pendi and an average rainfall of just 25 mm annually make it a very hot place during summertime. On July 31, 1964, the highest recorded temperature was 53.3 °C (127.9 °F), which is the highest reliable temperature, recorded during standard conditions anywhere in China.
The Battle of Toksun took place in this county in July 1933 when Khoja Niyas Hajji, a Uighur leader, defected with his forces to Governor Sheng Shicai. He advanced to Toksun via Dawan Ch'eng, where the Chinese Muslim forces of General Ma Shih-ming achieved victory over Niyas Hajji's forces.
Reportedly enslaved mentally disabled people worked at the Jiaersi Green Construction Material Chemical Factory.
I live by the river on the wrong side of town
Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound
Of a train I'll never catch passin' me by
Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry
So I head you're comin' back with somebody else
Well, if I had the time, if I had a little help&
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
I have to think of something, I just have to find a way
Before you cross that river, before I see your face
'Cause I can see your headlights and I can feel the pain
And nothing's gonna save me if I see you again
But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
I'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning light
And every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
I'd pay the price, I'd take the blame
If I could see it all go up in flames
And if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
