### Noun

仇讎
* (literary) enemy; foe
    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.
    From: 1927, Lu Xun（魯迅）, Forging the Swords（《鑄劍》）, translated in English by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang
    Tā juéxīn yào bìngwú xīnshì yībān, dǎotóu biàn shuì, qīngchén xǐnglái, háobù gǎibiàn chángtài, cóngróng de qù xún tā bùgòngdàitiān de chóuchóu. [Pinyin]
    He determined to act as if nothing were on his mind, to fall straight asleep, to wake the next morning as usual, and then to set out confidently in search of his mortal foe.
