After spending several seasons behind Xu Yunlong and Zhang Yonghai in the defense, then manager Jaime Pacheco would promote youngsters Lei Tenglong and Yu Yang into the senior squad and after making only three appearances for the team during the 2011 league season, Lang was allowed to go on loan to Nanchang Hengyuan during the season. Lang was brought in to help the club fight off relegation and he would go on to make his debut against Hangzhou Greentown on 10 July 2011 where he came on as a late substitute in a 1–0 win.{{Cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2011/07/10/china-pr/super-league/nanchang-bayi/zhejiang-lucheng/1097767/|title=Shanghai Shenxin vs. Hangzhou 1-0|publisher=soccerway.com|date=10 July 2011|accessdate=2012-07-28}} He would make several further appearances for Nanchang and even scored a goal against Shaanxi Chanba in a 3–1 win on 23 October 2011 to help the club stay in the top tier.{{Cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2011/10/23/china-pr/super-league/shanxi-baorong/nanchang-bayi/1097858/|title=Guizhou Renhe vs. Shanghai Shenxin 1-3|publisher=soccerway.com|date=23 October 2011|accessdate=2012-07-28}}
