Hah.
Technically, the lung had batwings, too, though, in Chinese art, animals are often highly stylized. The "batwings" are/were the coral-branch like appendages that emerge from behind the forelimbs in some pictures, and apparently helped their owners fly, much like the way halteres help flies fly. Despite this, many artists forget about them and omit these organs.

Those are wings? I always saw them just as squiggly strands of hair protruding from the shoulder.

Yes, those are/were wings: the fur/hair protruding from the shoulders tend to look more like a ruff.
