Problem Statement

In acute triangle ABC\triangle ABC, HH is the orthocenter, BDBD,CECE are altitudes. MM is the midpoint of BCBC. PP,QQ are on segment BMBM,DEDE, respectively. RR is on segment PQPQ such that BPEQ=CPDQ=PRQR\frac{BP}{EQ}=\frac{CP}{DQ}=\frac{PR}{QR}. Suppose LL is the orthocenter of AHR\triangle AHR, then prove: QMQM passes through the midpoint of RLRL.
