What was China like in the 1920s? (Their lifestyle, immigrants living there, economy, etc.)
*I searched up a few websites, but there wasn't a lot of information about their lifestyle or immigrants living there.

At that time China was largely agrarian in economy, so lifestyles were rural for the most part. China was not a unified nation as it is (more or less) today. Government came from Western colonial powers (Germany, etc.) and local warlords and landlords. Look up Sun Yat Sing, the Guomindang, Chiang Kai-shek, and the roots of Chinese communism in the 1920s. A good capsule history of that time in China can be found in Julia Lovell's book THE GREAT WALL (c. 2006, Grove Press), chapter 12. That may not help if your assignment is due Monday morning, but it is a good source.
By the way, Ms. Sue is right. There were few immigrants living in China at that time. Immigrants were discouraged for about 400 years before the 1920s, as were most "foreign" influences.
