1The red colour is because the destination of the link does not exist. – Some programmer dude Dec 29 '18 at 16:33

Please show the code and/or state the errors. Please don't use links to images. The text is missing from the question. The text on the picture is too small for some people to read. The text on the image cannot be indexed by search engines for future visitors. – jww Dec 29 '18 at 22:51

These are symbolic links - special files that just contain the path to another file. When you cat them, they essentially redirect to the file they link to. However, as evident by the red color in the ls output, these links are broken - they point to files that do not exist, and thus you get that error when you try to cat them.
