Wtf does this do

This repository collects internal job referral information for Chinese technology companies. According to the project description, it covers three kinds of hiring: full-time roles at established companies, campus recruiting aimed at recent graduates, and internships. In China, many tech firms run internal referral programs where a current employee can refer an outside candidate, often giving that candidate a faster or more visible path through the hiring process, and this project centralizes that kind of information in one place. The README itself contains almost no prose. Instead, it is built entirely as a grid of company logos, each one linking to a separate page for that company stored elsewhere in the repository. Companies represented in the grid include well known Chinese tech employers such as ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, NetEase Games, iQiyi, Kuaishou, Shopee, Grab, and PayPal, along with many smaller or more specialized firms. Each linked page presumably contains referral contacts or application details for that specific employer, though the top-level README does not describe what format or level of detail those individual pages follow. The entire project is written in Chinese and is clearly aimed at Chinese-speaking job seekers in the technology industry. There is no application code anywhere in the repository. It functions purely as a curated information resource rather than as software you would install or run. The content appears to have been collected and maintained by the repository owner as an ongoing convenience for developers looking for referral routes into well-known Chinese internet companies, updated periodically as opportunities change.
