Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle with altitude AH\overline{AH}, and let PP be a variable point such that the angle bisectors kk and \ell of PBC\angle PBC and PCB\angle PCB, respectively, meet on AH\overline{AH}. Let kk meet AC\overline{AC} at EE, \ell meet AB\overline{AB} at FF, and EF\overline{EF} meet AH\overline{AH} at QQ. Prove that as PP varies, line PQPQ passes through a fixed point.
