In May 1924, he was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou, and soon after arriving at the school, he joined the Communist Party of China. In the spring of 1928, Wang Taiji led the whole battalion to revolt in Linyou County, Shaanxi, and in May of that year, Wang Taiji participated in leading the Weihua Uprising and served as the chief of staff of the Northwest Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. In January 1934, in order to expand the revolutionary armed forces, Wang Taiji took the initiative to ask to go to the border of Henan and Shaanxi to do military movement work, and was arrested while passing through tongrun town in Chunhua, Shaanxi. On March 3, Wang Taiji was secretly murdered at the age of 28 in the compound of the Military Justice Department of the "Appeasement" Office of Xihuamen in Xi'an.
