Was this airframe meant to be made fly worthy again ?

Yup, now serving as the first wide body A320 ever...

Alas not - 22-year-old A320 on its way to the scrapyard to be turned into saucepans. Or possibly woks.

From the linked report:
Local news reports say neither the bridge nor the aircraft sustained any serious damage.
Hmm.

It's strange that they didn't get a "too low" aural warning in the cockpit! :}

Probably forgot to activate the Bridge Proximity Warning System.

I guess it was an aerobridge:}
I suppose Sully's aircraft could have hit a bridge eventually..

I'm impressed with the soft field landing gear. If only they had let out the tire pressure a little earlier.

The incident went unreported until footage was posted on Chinese social media Weibo.
Says a lot about incident reporting and just culture in China :E

No. You need a 787 for that.

When I read the title I thought that must have been a very low approach.

At least in the end the ceiling was not broken.

That was the situation commuters in the Daoli District of the city of Harbin, China found themselves in when a truck carrying a massive Airbus A320 slammed into a bridge it was driving under.
I spot the issue... it wasn't a standard-size A320?
