Damn this one is even more crazier than Apollo 12 and that Soyuz-2 that got hit launching at Plesetsk several years ago - the lightning strike actually clearly hit the ground here! https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5323939312307088

Very cool how there were first a couple of little strikes and then a big one all the way to the ground. The exhaust probably formed a preferred path to ground.

Was there any damage to the rocket?
