Show that $N$ is orthcenter of triangle $AYZ$
$begingroup$
Triangle $ABC$ has height $BE,CF$.$M$ is the midpoint of $BC$. $EF$ and AM intersects at point $N$. Draw $NXperp BC, XYperp AB, XZperp AC(Xin BC, Yin AB, Zin AC)$.Show that $N$ is orthcenter of triangle $AYZ$.
I can't find any lemma to solve this problem. How we draw any another geometry element to solve.Show me pls!

First note that $triangle AEF$ and $triangle ABC$ are similar. Let $P$ be the midpoint of $EF$, then $$angle APE = angle AMBtag{1}.$$
Moreover, $E,F$ lie on the circle with center $M$ and diameter $BC$, so $MPperp EF$. So $MNPX$ is circular. It follows that
$$angle NPX + angle AMB = 180^circ.tag{2}$$
From (1) and (2) we conclude that $A,P,X$ are colinear. Consequently,
$$frac{BX}{XC} = frac{NE}{NF}.tag{3}$$
Since $XZparallel BE$, we have $EZ : ZC = BX:XC = NE:NF$. Thus $NZparallel CF$, and similarly $NY parallel BE$ and we are done.
Note: (3) may be a little subtle but I leave it to you to clarify.

Your solution is nice. But it lacks proper explanation. Might be not so good for newbies. You jumped to so many conclusions.
