Yes. Most ballads tell a story. A ballad often has a beginning, middle, and an end, just like a story. It might start by introducing a situation or a character, then develop the plot through a series of events, and finally conclude with some sort of resolution. For instance, many ballads from different cultures around the world tell stories of lost love, battles, or the adventures of a hero. These stories are passed down through generations in the form of ballads.
It's not based on a completely true story. The Ballad of Mulan is more of a legendary tale passed down through generations with elements of fiction and cultural imagination.
