The first sentence sounds better. Would is a past-tense form of will. If you are writing about past events, you can use it to indicate something that was in the future at that point in time, but is not necessarily in the future right now. In other words, you use would to preserve the future aspect when talking about the past.

@Eunmipark Both are fine. The second sentence is just a longer version of the first one.
