Problem Statement

Let PP be an arbitrary point in the interior of triangle ABC\triangle ABC. LinesBP\overline{BP} and CP\overline{CP} intersect AC\overline{AC} and AB\overline{AB} at EE and FF, respectively. Let KK and LL be the midpoints of the segments BFBF and CECE, respectively. Let the lines through LL and KK parallel to CF\overline{CF} and BE\overline{BE} intersect BC\overline{BC} at SS and TT, respectively; moreover, denote by MM and NN the reflection of SS and TT over the points LL and KK, respectively. Prove that as PP moves in the interior of triangle ABC\triangle ABC, line MN\overline{MN} passes through a fixed point. Proposed by Ali Zamani
