Problem

Let $D$ be an interior point of the acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB > AC$ so that $\angle DAB= \angle CAD$. The point $E$ on the segment $AC$ satisfies $\angle ADE= \angle BCD$, the point $F$ on the segment $AB$ satisfies $\angle FDA= \angle DBC$, and the point $X$ on the line $AC$ satisfies $CX=BX$. Let $O_1$ and $O_2$ be the circumcentres of the triangles $ADC$ and $EXD$ respectively. Prove that the lines $BC$, $EF$, and $O_1 O_2$ are concurrent. (source: 2021 IMO)
