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.

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

The incident went unreported until footage was posted on Chinese social media Weibo.
