Noun

仇讎

(literary) enemy; foe
- 天下莫危於人主也。聚則為君民，散則為仇讎，聚散之間，不容毫厘。 [Literary Chinese, trad.]
  天下莫危于人主也。聚则为君民，散则为仇雠，聚散之间，不容毫厘。 [Literary Chinese, simp.]
  From: 1071, Su Shi（蘇軾）, Memorial to His Majesty Emperor Shentsung（《上神宗皇帝萬言書》）, translated into English by Lin Yutang
  Tiānxià mò wēi yú rénzhǔ yě. Jù zé wéi jūnmín, sàn zé wéi chóuchóu, jùsàn zhījiān, bùróng háolí. [Pinyin]
  No one in the nation is in a more precarious position than the emperor himself. When the emperor and the people come together, they are ruler and subjects; when they detest each other, they become foes. But the line of division, determining whether the people go with the ruler or against him, is extremely tenuous.
- 他決心要并無心事一般，倒頭便睡，清晨醒來，毫不改變常態，從容地去尋他不共戴天的仇讎。 [MSC, trad.]
  他决心要并无心事一般，倒头便睡，清晨醒来，毫不改变常态，从容地去寻他不共戴天的仇雠。 [MSC, simp.]
